Hi! I'm a first-year direct-entry PhD student in Artificial Intelligence @ Xi'an Jiaotong University, advised by prof. Badong Chen.
Research
My research investigates structural gaps between human cognition and current AI systems—gaps that task-level benchmarks tend to obscure. I combine a critical lens, using cognitive science's problem framing to diagnose what is missing, with a constructive one, translating cognitive architecture principles into testable computational proposals.
Rather than committing to a single AI substrate, I examine how specific cognitive capacities—such as executive function, working memory, and metacognitive monitoring—manifest and fail differently across language models and action-taking agents, allowing cognitive claims to be triangulated across multiple empirical contexts.
I'm currently working on hierarchical representation learning based on taxonomical foundation for my Bachelor's Thesis:）
