Yuhang Zang

Hi, I am Yuhang Zang (臧宇航), a young researcher at Shanghai AI Laboratory. I obtained my PhD at the Nanyang Technological University in 2023, supervised by Prof. Chen Change Loy. I obtained my Bachelor's degree at UESTC in 2019.

I regularly serve as an Area Chair for NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, AAAI, and COLM. I also serve as the Action Editor for Transactions on Machine Learning Research (TMLR).

Research Focus: My current research focuses on 1) post-training for multimodal LLMs (reinforcement fine-tuning, reward models), and 2) vision-language pre-training.

Open to Chat: I'm always interested in connecting with researchers and students. Feel free to schedule a meeting via this page (and drop me an email as well)—research-related or otherwise!
