Graduate Research Assistant, Building a Mind Lab

Developing ChickVR, a digital twin platform enabling the parallel controlled rearing of biological chicks and artificial agents to independently manipulate learning machinery and training data.

Demonstrated that social touch (cuddling) spontaneously emerges in artificial agents trained with curiosity-driven, multisensory reinforcement learning, mirroring behaviors observed in biological twins without hardcoded social drives.

Research Intern, Deep Learning Lab, Westlake University

Spearheaded the development of an online psychological therapy platform, integrating AI-generated response recommendations for therapists to significantly enhance service efficiency.

Constructed a robust therapy dialogue dataset through the platform, facilitating future research in areas such as content safety and emotional analysis.

Employed advanced statistical models (GPT) combined with a ranker to generate response texts, refining AI-generated content quality through continuous improvement based on therapists engagement data.

Research Intern, Department of Linguistic, The Ohio State University

Designed and implemented a well-visualized tool for a Humanity Entity Recognizer aimed at reducing both time and cost associated with NER annotation tasks.

Software Developer, AI Rudder Inc.

Developed AI-driven voice agents at AI Rudder, automating tasks such as call transfers, scheduling, and service bookings by integrating LLMs, TTS, and ASR.

Designed a framework leveraging LLM function calling to decompose human agent SOPs into dynamic sub-prompts, enhancing the docility and trustworthiness of voice agents.

Engineered a Gin-based API, accelerating integration speed and efficiency in connecting voice agents with external tools.

Software Developer Intern, AI-Lab, ByteDance

Developed a system to ensure the continuous availability of a state-of-the-art online CV model, enabling the automated execution of test sets for corresponding models at regular intervals with integrated failure alerts.

Designed and implemented a testing pipeline that streamlines the creation of test sets for models and enables one-click deployment.

Software Developer Intern,Bank of America Merrill Lynch

Redesigned and maintained the communication center website, enhancing accessibility and team collaboration through internal web applications.
