Yifu Yuan (袁逸夫)

PhD student, Tianjin University

I am a second-year PhD student at Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) Lab, Tianjin University (TJU), advised by Prof. Jianye Hao. I am also co-advised by Prof. Yan Zheng. I interned at Netease Fuxi AI Lab (Fuxi) during 2023, where I worked with Dr. Yujing Hu. Now I intern at Tencent AI Lab, advised by Prof. Zhongwen Xu. I received my Bachelor's degree from the Dalian University of Technology (DUT), advised by Prof. Guozhen Tan.

Research interest

I am broadly interested in research on the building embodied agents for decision making. To achieve this, my current research interest contains Model-based reinforcement learning, Diffusion Model, RLHF and LLM agents. I hope to ride the wave of AI changing the world.
