About

I am a Ph.D. student in Artificial Intelligence at HKUST (Guangzhou), advised by Prof. Lionel Ni. Previously, I was a MPhil student in Data Science at HKUST, advised by Prof. Qiong Luo and Prof. Yang Xiang. My research interests lie at the intersection of Agentic Systems, Trustworthy AI, and Computational Neuroscience. I focus on scaling and orchestrating large multi-agent systems, securing agentic AI against jailbreaks, sandbox escapes, and tool-permission bypasses, and developing multi-agent systems for neuroscience research.
