Pronouns: he/him/his. How to pronounce?
I am co-founder and Chief AI Officer at All Hands AI, building open source AI agents OpenHands for developers.
Before I join All Hands AI, I was a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Heng Ji. I also work closely with Prof. Hao Peng.
I’m interested in developing interactive language agents powered by foundation models like large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). These agents can interact with both computer and physical environments through programming languages, assisting humans and continuously self-improving based on environmental observations and human language feedback.
I received my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan in computer science and data science. Previously, I was an intern at Google Research (2023, multimodal LLM pre-training), Microsoft (2022, unit-test generation), Bytedance (2021, lightseq ), and Tencent (2020, distributed deep learning).
