Hi, I'm Fang WU!

Welcome to my personal web page! I am a Ph.D. student at Stanford Computer Science, advised by Yejin Choi and Jure Leskovec. I have great fortune to work with James Zou and Brian Trippe during the first year. Previously, I was a research engineer at Tsinghua University advised by Jinbo Xu. I obtained my Master's degree at Columbia University, advised by Dragomir Radev. It is a profound loss for me to lose Prof. Radev on March 29, 2023 (in memoriam). My present research focuses on LLMs, agent systems, and AI4Science.
