Yanheng He

I am a CS PhD student at HKUST, advised by Prof. Junxian He. I obtained my B.E. in Computer Science from ACM Honors Class at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am also working with Dr. Tianyu Pang at Tencent Hunyuan.

Previously, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Saining Xie at NYU Courant and Prof. Pengfei Liu at SJTU & SII.

I am interested in building AI systems that can solve real-world problems. Currently, I am enthusiastic about Agents and World Models.
