I am a second-year PhD student at University of Notre Dame beginning in 2023 Spring, advised by Prof. Xiangliang Zhang. I am also proud to be a member of the NSF Center for Computer-Assisted Synthesis (C-CAS), where I am currently working as a research assistant. Previously, I received my M.S. degree in computer science from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). I also received my B.Eng. degree in software engineering from Xidian University.

My long-term research goal is to develop intelligent systems with human-like planning and reasoning abilities. The central theme of my current research is to improve these capabilities from diversity, uncertainty-aware, learning from feedback, scalability, step-by-step perspectives.
For technologies, my studies encompass LLM, LLM-based Agents, LLM Interpretability, Generative Models, and Mixture-of-experts.
For practical applications, my studies encompass Scientific Domains, Bayesian Optimization, Recommender Systems, all of which naturally require better planning and reasoning capabilities of the intelligent systems.

I am actively seeking a research intern opportunity about large language models! Additonally, if you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to contact me at tguo2@nd.edu or wechat ID: Great_buckwheat
