Hi there! I’m Jack, a second-year thesis-based master student affiliated with UIUC CS, advised by Prof. Nan Jiang. I’m also a visiting scholar at BAIR, advised by Sergey Levine. I also work closely with Aviral Kumar.
Recently, I focus my research on enhancing the reasoning & planning capability of intelligent agents with foundation model and reinforcement leanring (RL). The methodology usually integrates principled representation learning and RL algorithms.
I received my dual undergrad degree from UIUC and Zhejiang University. During those wonderful years, I was lucky enough to work with Yi Ma @ BAIR, Chengxiang Zhai @ UIUC, and Shilin He @ Microsoft Research.
A public up-to-date resume can be found here.
