About Me

My name is Zhaoyang Wang (王朝阳 in Chinese). I am a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, advised by Prof. Huaxiu Yao. My research interests mainly lie in the reasoning and alignment of Large Language Models (LLMs). And I'm currently working on agents, welcome to reach out if you have interests to collaborate. In my spare time, I'm always excited to learn more about MLSys and Computer System.

Previously, I worked on robustness and text generation issues of Natural Language Processing (NLP). I received my master's degree in Computer Science from Sun Yat-sen University in 2024, and my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from North China Electric Power University in 2021. I also spent wonderful time interning at Microsoft (2023, 2025) and WeChat AI (2023).
