I am a currently a postdoc at SIERRA-team, INRIA Paris, working with Michael I. Jordan. I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science at Peking University, where I was advised by Xiaotie Deng. I obtained my bachelor degree in Applied Mathematics from Hua Luogeng Honors Class, Beihang University.

My current research interest lies in the learning and game theoretic issues in the interaction of strategic and learning agents and how each field can help the other to have better practical implication. For example, I am interested in how to learn players’ private information from equilibria and how strategic agents can utilize their information advantage to gain profit from interaction.

During my PhD, I visited Zhiyi Huang at the University of Hong Kong from Feb. to Aug. 2023, and from Aug. to Sept. 2024. I worked as an intern at Alimama group from May. to Sept. 2024 on online ad auctions.
