Shangjian Yin
Hi! My name is Shangjian Yin. I'm a CS PhD student at the University of California, Riverside, advised by Zhouxing Shi. Previously, I was a Research Intern at Microsoft AI and Meta AI.
Currently, I focus on LLM post-training, recursive self-improving LLMs, and long-horizon agents. I am also interested in world models, Physical AI, and agent systems infra, and I am open to collaboration!
