Hi, I'm Sirui Chen! I am a PhD student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Jingrui He. I completed my Master's degree in Computer Science from Renmin University of China, advised by Prof. Jun Xu. Prior to that, I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Tsinghua University.

My long-term goal is to develop reliable and controllable AI systems fully aligned with human intentions. My research spans two interconnected themes:

• Data-Centric Machine Learning: data selection, synthetic data generation;
• Reinforcement Learning: agent collaboration, agent evolution with exploration, model interaction in complex environments;

Ultimately, I aspire to build systems that self-evolve, autonomously improving from data curation to model training to evaluation, closing the loop on the fly.

I'm always happy to discuss research or explore collaborations — feel free to reach out!
