Mian Zhang

Hi, I'm a CS PhD in UTD, advised by Zhiyu Zoey Chen. I was a research intern at Zoom Gen AI, Tencent AI Lab and a member of the NLP group at Soochow University.

I am seeking a Research Internship related to LLMs next summer. Please reach out if you have any opportunities!

Research

I work on reinforcement learning and synthetic data generation to improve the capabilities and reliability of LLM/VLM agents. I am broadly interested in research directions that contribute to AGI.
