Hi, there! Iβm Yuhan! I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Machine Learning Department of MBZUAI, working with Nils Lukas, Salem Lahlou, and Martin Takac. Along the way, my work has been recognized by prestigious honors, including being selected as a DAAD AInet Fellow (2025) by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). I received my Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China (2021-2025). Prior to RUC, I earned my M.S. in Mathematics and B.S. in Automation from China University of Petroleum (Beijing).
I am on the 2026 Fall job market, actively seeking faculty positions. Feel free to reach out at [email protected].
β€οΈ Research Interests
My research focuses on Trustworthy Agentic AI for Open Information Ecosystems, including:
- Trustworthy Information and Social Simulation: How misinformation propagates, evolves, and can be governed in complex social systems.
- Trustworthy Multimodal Perception and Reasoning: Extends trustworthy AI from text to multimodal settings, focusing on improving perception and reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models.
- Adaptive Reasoning and Self-Evolving Agentic System: Improve the reasoning capabilities of Agentic System through adaptation and self-evolution
- Structured / Domain-grounded Foundation Models: How structured knowledge and domain-specific information can enhance foundation models.
