Biography

I am a researcher in Zhipu AI. Before that, I was a research scientist in 4Paradigm Inc. and the leader of OpenRL Lab. I received my B.E. and Ph. D. degrees (co-advised by Prof. Jun Zhu and Prof. Ting Chen) from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University in July, 2017 and June, 2022. My researches focus on deep reinforcement learning, multi-agent reinforcement learning, distributed reinforcement learning, RL for robotics, LLM as agent, artificial general intelligence (AGI) and generative artificial intelligence (GAI). I have also spent time working at RealAI Inc. , Huawei Noah's Ark Lab, Tencent AI Lab, Carnegie Mellon University and Sensetime Inc. . And I am also the founder of the OpenRL Lab() and TARTRL group.

We are looking for self-motivated interns and full-timers who have a strong background in mathematics/computer science and are eager to get involved in cutting-edge, fundamental AI research. Please feel free to drop me an email if you are interested in collaborating with me.
