Timeline

  1. 1996–2006

    Tsinghua degrees

    He earns a bachelor's, master's and doctorate at Tsinghua in 1996, 1998 and 2006, respectively.

  2. 2022

    EDUKG for K–12 learning

    In 2022, he coauthors EDUKG, a heterogeneous sustainable knowledge graph for K–12 education. The paper proposes a fine-grained ontology and a method for extracting factual knowledge from textbooks.

  3. 2025

    Benchmarking agent instruction following

    In 2025, he coauthors AgentIF, a benchmark that tests large language models' ability to follow complex instructions in agentic scenarios.

  4. November 2025

    Subnet localization for fine-tuning

    In November 2025, he coauthors LoSiA, a method for efficient high-rank fine-tuning that identifies and optimizes a subnetwork during training.

  5. July 2026

    Agents for project-based learning

    In July 2026, he coauthors SimPBL, a multi-agent framework for project-based learning. It has an orchestrator agent that provides adaptive scaffolding and collaborator agents that support project work.

  6. As of October 2026

    Research professor and lab director

    As of October 2026, he is a Research Professor in Tsinghua's Department of Computer Science and Technology. He directs the Knowledge Modeling and Analysis Laboratory at the National Engineering Research Center of Cyberlearning and Intelligent Technology.
