My name is Yuxiang Lin, pronounced as “You-shee-ahng Lin”. I am an MS student at Georgia Institute of Technology 
. I earned my B.S. degree from Shenzhen Technology University 
under supervision from Prof. Xiaojiang Peng. In 2023, I was a visiting student at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT), CAS 
and a research intern with Prof. Chen Chen at UCF 
remotely. In 2024, I interned at Baidu Inc 
in the Group of Multimodal Retrieval, gaining experience in representation learning and big data.
Additionally, I volunteered as a Teaching Assistant for a Large Language Models/Computer Vision tutorial hosted by the Shanghai AI Laboratory 
.
You can find me at yuxiang.lin@gatech.edu or lin.yuxiang.contact@gmail.com.
My research interest mainly includes:
- Foundation model: Representation Learning, Post-Pretraining, Contrastive Learning.
- Multi-modal LLM: LLM Reasoning, LLM Application.
- LLM Agent: Multi-Agent Collabroation.
