🤖 Brief Introduction

Hello, I am JamesNULLiu (Yanchen Liu, 刘彦辰).

I am a first-year MSCS student at University of Southern California, now working as a research intern in INK Lab @ USC, advised by Prof. Xiang Ren and Postdoc. Siyuan Wang. My current research focuses on RLHF, Test-time Computing and Reasoning of LLMs.

I achieved my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Shanghai University. During that time, I conducted in-depth research on Inference Acceleration, High Performance Computing, In-vehicle System Security and Super-Resolution.

If you have any inquiries or are interested in collaboration, please feel free to contact me via email at jamesnulliu@gmail.com.
