Agent safety · Human-AI coevolution

Hi! I recently graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, MA, and will be joining Chats Lab as a PhD student in Fall 2026 under the supervision of Prof. Weiyan Shi. I'm currently an intern at VirtueAI.

I'm particularly interested in agent safety and human-AI coevolution — understanding how tool-using agents fail, and how people and AI systems shape each other over time.
