Profile

I am an undergraduate researcher and builder working across learning theory, quantitative trading, cognitive augmentation, and AI agents / research harnesses. I am particularly interested in turning open-ended research and decision problems into reproducible experiments, auditable workflows, and working systems.

Current Roles

Research Assistant Intern · Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA)
Sep 2026 – Present
Research on stochastic processes, machine learning, and data-driven modeling.

Youth Assistant · Renmin University of China–Westlake University Joint Institute for Future Humanity
Sep 2026 – Present
Supporting research, projects, and youth collaboration.

Research

Training-Stage Behavior and Interpretability of Language Models · 2026 – Present
Studying layer-level behavior, causal interventions, and cross-checkpoint stability during pretraining, with an emphasis on reproducible experiments and auditable evidence.

Data-Driven Identification of Heavy-Tailed Stochastic Processes · 2026 – Present
Studying random time changes, subordination, non-Gaussian heavy-tailed noise, and data-driven stochastic-process identification.
