Welcome to Weiyuan Chen’s Homepage!

My name is Weiyuan Chen. I’m an incoming CS PhD student at Virginia Tech, advised by Prof. Tu Vu. Previously I achieved a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Zhejiang University. Throughout my undergraduate study, I am very fortunate to have multiple research experiences as an intern in the field of Natural Language Processing supervised by Prof. Ningyu Zhang at Zhejiang University, and Prof. Arman Cohan at Yale University.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in Advanced Reasoning in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). I aim to evaluate and advance LLM capabilities, especially in critical areas such as Knowledge Understanding and Reasoning.
