Education
- PhD in Computer Science from the University of Manchester, supervised by Prof. Xiao-Jun Zeng and co-supervised by Dr. Ke Chen; MSc in Management Science and Engineering from Wuhan University, graduated in 2022; BSc in Management Information Systems from Wuhan University of Technology, graduated in 2019.
Background
- Research interests: multi-agent reinforcement learning and its applications to the evolution of cooperation. During his master's program, he investigated the role of social exclusion and expulsion mechanisms in driving the emergence and evolution of cooperation. Currently, he is conducting an analysis to compare the performance of cooperative facilitation mechanisms when applied within the contexts of social learning and reinforcement learning.
Miscellany
- Open to and actively seeking visiting research opportunities at any time, and postdoctoral positions starting around December to advance his research and foster new collaborations.
