Education

Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, The George Washington University, 2024
B.E. in Automation Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 2019

2024 – Present: Applied Scientist
- Amazon.com, Alexa AI
  - Developed Alexa’s foundational LLMs for Alexa+ launch, owning post-training RL, LHF/LAIF. Validated by Alexa+ >100 benchmark metrics, the developed models successfully outperformed external models (e.g., Claude Sonnet 4.5/4/3.5) on accuracy, latency, and capacity for over 90% of real-user traffic on Alexa+.
2019 – 2024: Research Assistant
- The George Washington University, Advisor: Prof. Tian Lan.
  - Worked on multiple research projects, the topics of which include reinforcement learning, Bayesian optimization, generative AI, computer vision, and network security. Publishing papers in related areas.

Summer 2024: Research Engineer Intern
- Intelligent Fusion Technology, Inc.
  - Designed and Applied the transfer learning algorithm to the domain adaptation task to improve the performance of civilian and military vehicle recognition.

Summer 2023: Visiting Researcher
- Purdue University, Collaborator: Prof. Christopher Brinton
  - Developed a continual federated learning model with time-variant input of each edge device using the diffusion generative model for the server and clients.
