About Me

👋Hi!

I'm Siyue, a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi’an, China, advised by Prof. Zhen Wang and Dr. Shuyue Hu . My research explores the intersection of multi-agent systems (MASs), large language models (LLMs), and game theory, with a particular focus on cooperative behaviors in LLM-based agent societies and human-AI interaction.

Prior to this, I received my bachelor’s degree from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2022. From 2024 to 2026, I was also a research intern at Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, advised by Dr. Shuyue Hu.

My Ph.D. thesis focuses on the emergence and evolution of social norms in MASs, and I expect to complete my degree in late 2027. I am actively seeking future postdoctoral opportunities and research collaborations in cooperative AI, LLM-based MASs, and human-AI interaction. I would be very happy to connect with researchers working on related topics. Please feel free to reach out, and see my CV for more details.
