About Me

I am currently a Research Assistant at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) (HKUST(GZ)), working with Prof. Kaishun Wu since July 2026. I received my M.S. (2026) in Computer Technology from Shenzhen University, supervised by Prof. Haodi Zhang, and my B.S. (2023) in Information and Computational Science from Guangdong University of Technology.

My research lies at the intersection of AI for Science and intelligent decision-making, with applications in agriculture and climate. I combine physical modeling, domain knowledge, and reinforcement learning to study how AI can understand environmental processes and support decisions under practical constraints. My recent work includes neural operators for meteorological downscaling and learning-based optimization for agricultural mitigation and livestock planning.

Research Interests

  • Physics-Informed Environment Modeling — Combining physical laws and neural operators to model environmental processes across spatial scales.
  • Knowledge-Integrated Spatial Decision-Making — Integrating domain knowledge and reinforcement learning for spatial planning under resource and environmental constraints.
  • Knowledge-Aware Scientific Agents — Connecting environmental models, scientific knowledge, and agent reasoning to support long-term planning.

My long-term goal is to build reliable scientific agents that turn an understanding of the physical world into informed action, helping address challenges in sustainable agriculture and climate adaptation.

MSPNO: Spherical Physics-informed Neural Operator for Meteorological Downscaling
A spherical, multi-scale, and physics-informed operator learning framework for high-resolution climate field modeling. The project combines spherical Laplacian decomposition, localized spherical integral operators, and physics-informed constraints to improve geometric continuity and physical consistency.
PTO method thumbnail
PTO: Precise Technology Optimization for Agricultural Mitigation
A county-level technology portfolio optimization pipeline covering 2,901 counties, 105 mitigation technologies, 18 carbon and nitrogen indicators, 4,538 publications, and 22,635 observations. PTO combines expert-guided initialization and curriculum learning to reduce emissions, cost, and implementation complexity.
Livestock spatial planning thumbnail
Knowledge-Enhanced DRL for Livestock Spatial Planning
A constrained actor-critic planning framework for livestock redistribution under agronomic, environmental, and social constraints. The framework uses PPO, action masking, hierarchical migration/intervention stages, and DRL+LP optimization. Scenario results report 63% nitrogen surplus reduction, 48% ammonia-emission-intensity reduction, and 71% pollution-exposure reduction.
