About
I am a Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), advised by Prof. Chau Yuen. I work on LLM agents: benchmarks that evaluate what they can do, training that improves them, and orchestration that gets real tasks done with tools, verifiers and other agents — and, lately, agents that improve themselves. So far most of the work has been in domains where an answer can be checked: formal verification, mathematics, and code. The current work is on self-improvement beyond checkable answers.
Before my Ph.D. I worked on robot perception — visual-inertial odometry at MEGVII, RGB-D + IMU indoor mapping at Microsoft Research Asia, and multimodal localization at Gausium Robotics, where I led a five-engineer team and shipped to a fleet of 1,000+ commercial cleaning robots.
