About Me

I am an undergraduate student at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), with a GPA of 3.89/4.00. I also attended the NUS School of Computing Summer Workshop in 2025.

I am currently a research intern at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), under the supervision of Prof. Di Wang.

My research focuses on large language models (LLMs), with a particular interest in large reasoning models (LRMs) and LLM agents. I also hope to explore world models and embodied AI in the future.

I am actively looking for internship opportunities in both industry and academia in areas related to large language models, including model training, alignment, evaluation, and agentic AI. Please feel free to reach me at hlshen19@gmail.com.
