About Me

Hello! 👏 I’m a third-year undergraduate student in UESTC’s “Everest Project” Computer Top-Talent Experimental Class (2023–2027), majoring in Computer Science. Now, I’m interested in LLM SFT/RL and reasoning, image/video generation, and unified multimodal models. Earlier, I explored AI for smart grids and remote-sensing image fusion. You can find my resume or 中文简历 here.

⭐ I am eager to discuss potential collaborations and am actively seeking research internship opportunities(industry/academia),including onsite roles.I ‘m also seeking for 2027 fall PHD position. Please feel free to contact me via email: [huang_rui@std.uestc.edu.cn],[paulafixamiworali@gmail.com] or WeChat: huangrui_dby if you are interested.I warmly welcome your message and look forward to connecting!
