Experience

  1. Lead Researcher — SocioGenesis

    UIUC × Together AI (Advisors: Prof. James Zou, Prof. Jiaxuan You, Shang Zhu)
    • Lead a long-horizon LLM-agent organization testbed studying how agent companies form persistent organizational capabilities under realistic constraints (roles, skills, deadlines, meetings, tool access, fatigue, budget).
    • Design professional profile graphs as structured decision priors and build OrgEnv, a startup-style product-development environment with community-profile evaluators.

  2. Research Assistant — ATLAS Moonshot

    UIUC (Advisors: Prof. ChengXiang Zhai, Prof. Jiaxuan You, Prof. Nancy M. Amato, Prof. Dilek Hakkani-Tür, Prof. Jiawei Han)
    • Joined the UIUC ATLAS Moonshot, an Upskill-as-You-Go AI education and reskilling ecosystem connecting learners, training providers, and employers through graph-grounded AI assistance.
    • Work on Open Reskill Graph construction and graph-grounded personalization, and contribute to a trusted U-GO AI-pilot that grounds LLM tutoring in structured skill graphs and human-in-the-loop verification.

  3. Researcher — Novelty Detection for RAG-Grounded LLM Content

    UIUC (Advisor: Prof. Jiawei Han)
    • Study originality and novelty detection for LLM-generated long-form answers under RAG, distinguishing genuinely new contributions from paraphrased evidence and shallow recombinations.
    • Design a multi-dimensional novelty taxonomy and an originality-check pipeline that aligns generated claims with retrieved evidence.

  4. Undergraduate Research Assistant — EvolvingAgents

    U Lab, UIUC (Advisors: Prof. Gene Robinson & Prof. Jiaxuan You; collaboration with Prof. James Zou)
    • Co-designed a two-pillar bio-inspired LLM multi-agent framework coupling within-task coordination (stigmergic memory, typed reflex signaling, adaptive immune pathway) with across-task organizational adaptation.
    • Led the Nature Environment, a long-horizon ecological-civilization testbed, and designed a Meta-Evolver that turns recurrent experience into auditable runtime components.

  5. Undergraduate Research Assistant (First Author) — ProtocolBench

    U Lab, UIUC (Advisor: Prof. Jiaxuan You)
    • First author of ProtocolBench & ProtocolRouter (accepted to ICML 2026).
    • Benchmark for LLM multi-agent communication protocols (A2A, ACP, ANP, Agora) with scenario-aware dynamic routing; learned routing matches or surpasses the best single-protocol baselines.

  6. Undergraduate Research Assistant (Co-First Author) — MultiAgentBench

    U Lab, UIUC (Advisor: Prof. Jiaxuan You)
    • Co-first author of MultiAgentBench (ACL 2025 Main Conference, 200+ citations). Built the Werewolf Arena benchmark for theory-of-mind evaluation.
    • Also co-authored ModelingAgent / ModelingBench (Findings of EMNLP 2025) and EscapeBench (ACL 2025 Main).
