I am a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), working in the Collective Decision Intelligence Lab, under the supervision of Prof. Jun Wang and Prof. Haifeng Zhang. Currently, I am a Visiting Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), co-advised by Prof. Bo An.
We are closely collaborating with Prof. Bo Li from Peking University on research at the intersection of AI and economics.
My research interests mainly focus on these aspects:-
AI Agents: Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents, Large Language Model (LLM) agents, Multi-Agent Systems, Population-agent system, Game Theory.
-
AI for Economics: Agent-based modeling, Economic simulations, and Social simulations.
