About Me

Hi, I’m Yan Shao. I am a fourth-year undergraduate in Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research interests include machine learning, AI agents, and efficient AI.

I am currently a research intern at SURFI Lab, UC Santa Barbara, advised by Wenbo Guo. I am working on LLM hallucination, and a paper from this line of work is forthcoming.

Outside the lab, I try to keep life interesting. If you would like to know more about me beyond research, you are very welcome to visit my blog.
