SECOND-YEAR PhD STUDENT

Yang Sheng 盛杨

Fudan University & Shanghai Innovation Institute

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at Fudan University and Shanghai Innovation Institute, broadly interested in understanding and advancing AI toward safe and capable AGI. My long-term vision is to help build AI systems that are both powerful and trustworthy, with a lasting positive impact on human society.

My interests span mechanistic interpretability, model post-training, and alignment, alongside reinforcement learning, continual learning, and recursive self-improvement (RSI). I want to understand not only how models work, but how that understanding and better verification can improve training and enable reliable, autonomous learning.

I also enjoy building practical AI tools, technologies, and products with real-world impact, and am always happy to connect with people who share these interests or would like to collaborate.
