Hi, I'm Haoquan, a fresh phd student studying at CUHK, advised by Weiyang Liu. Previously, I used to be an intern at Shanghai AI Lab, mentored by Kaipeng Zhang. My research interests lie in (M)LLM Reasoning. In addition to my primary research, I'm also fascinated by the interpretability of machine learning models and cognitive science.
