About Me

I am Hongli Shen (沈泓立), an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), with a GPA of 3.89/4.00. I also attended the NUS School of Computing Summer Workshop in 2025.

I am currently an Algorithm Intern in the Foundation Model Group at KNOWIN AI, working closely with Dr. Binghui Xie on embodied spatial intelligence and multimodal robot-data pipelines. Previously, I was a research intern at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Di Wang and was mentored by Shaopeng Fu.

My research interests include large language models (LLMs), large reasoning models (LRMs), LLM agents, and embodied AI. I am actively looking for internship opportunities in both industry and academia. Please feel free to reach me via Email or WeChat.
