Hi, I am Zhaochen Su (θθθΎ°), an incoming PhD student co-supervised by Prof. Junxian He and Prof. May Fung at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology starting in the fall of 2025.
Currently, I am a third-year master student at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute of Soochow University, advised by Prof. Juntao Li and Prof. Min Zhang.
Before this, I received my Bachelorβs degree (2018-2022, computer science) from Soochow University.
At present, I am working as a research intern at Shanghai AI Laboratory under the mentorship of Xiaoye Qu and Yu Cheng.
π€ I aim to advance the fundamental understanding of knowledge and reasoning in LLM/LVLM, paving the way toward more interpretable, adaptive, and human-like AI.
π Can the progress of civilization, and the advancement of technology truly transcend time? Or are we just endlessly pursuing the elusive dust in the hourglass?
