Xin Liang (梁馨)

B.E. in CS @ Tongji University

Welcome!

Hi! My name is Xin Liang (梁馨). I'm an incoming PhD student at Indiana University, advised by Prof. Jiangpeng He. Before that, I graduated from Tongji University with a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science, and I previously interned at Stepfun, working on coding agents and multi-turn dialogue. If you have ideas you'd like to discuss or just want to chat, feel free to drop me an email. I'm always happy to set up a meeting!

You can browse my projects and CV. Feel free to reach out via email.
