Biography

I am currently a research director at Intelligent Solution Research Center of E Fund, focusing on benefit finance with AI, especially Financial Foundation Models (FinFMs) and Agentic Engineering for investment research, risk management, and intelligent decision-making.

From 2022 to 2024, I was a principal scientist in Huawei (Top Minds Project) to develop AI-native products for optical network and intelligent cars. Previously, between 2020 and 2022, I visited Tencent AI Lab as a research intern, working closely with Dr. Hanbo Chen and Dr. Jianhua Yao. In 2018, I was fortunate to have a half-year internship supervised by Dr. Qiong Yan at SenseTime.

I obtained my Ph.D. from 2017 to 2022 at Tsinghua University (THU), supervised by Prof. Xiu Li. I also earned a B.Eng in Department of Automation and a B.Sc in Management at THU between 2013 and 2017.

I used to lead research for Tsinghua Intelligent Computation Lab where I founded the Medical Image Analysis Student Research Group and co-founded Reinforcement Learning Student Research Group. My current research interests span Financial Foundation Models, Agentic Engineering, Trustworthy AI, and Multimodal AI.
