About Me

Hello! I am Li Yi, a master’s student in the Department of Computer Science and Technology & Suzhou Institute for Advanced Study & State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Intelligence at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof. Mingjun Xiao. Previously, I received dual Bachelor’s degrees in Electronic Information Engineering and Computer Science from USTC.

My current research interests include agentic reinforcement learning and agent memory. Before that, I worked on machine learning systems and distributed model fine-tuning. Beyond my academic work, I also enjoy building practical tools and applications as an internet enthusiast and developer.
