Yuyang Zhao

Hi, I’m Yuyang Zhao, an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). My interests lie at the intersection of AI agents, reasoning-oriented large language models, and reinforcement learning. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Fuli Feng and Professor Xiangnan He in Lab of Data Science (LDS).

Research Interest

I am broadly interested in building intelligent agents that can operate effectively across diverse environments. My current research focuses on improving the generality, efficiency, and robustness of agents, with the goal of enabling them to better perceive, reason, and act in complex real-world settings.
