Yanghao Wang「汪阳昊」

I am a PhD candidate of LONG Group, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, fortunately advised by Prof. Long Chen.

Before that, I obtained my M.S. degree from NTU (Singapore), where I was advised by Prof. Hanwang Zhang in Machine Reasoning and Learning Lab (MReal Lab). I got my B.S. degree from Sichuan University.

I am fortunate to have internships at WeChat, Tiktok and 4Paradigm.
