Hi there. My research interest is about CONNECTION. I am researching Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multi-Agent System (MAS). In terms of theory, I am intrigued about how to design incentive compatible mechanisms on social networks, which mainly falls within the field of Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT). I mainly focus on the intersection of LLM and AGT as well as the reasoning capabilities of LLMs.

I am also interested in how to capture the relationships between different variables using deep learning methods, and as a result, I am currently researching Graph Neural Networks (GNN), particularly the use of graph neural networks for the analysis of multi-variable time series data, chemical molecules, social networks and so on.

In addition to making breakthroughs in theory, I am also interested in how mechanism can help people in practical ways.

I love teaching and have been involved in the design of several courses as a TA. Now I am committed to promoting curriculum reform in my university. I am also interested in composing and mixing music (with AI).

I am looking for a Ph.D position in Fall 2025.
