STARK: Strategic Advantage Reinforcement with Confidence-Driven Exploration for Long-Horizon Agentic Learning
EMNLP 2026 Main Conference
Direct Ph.D. Student · Zhejiang University
Hey, I'm Yuhao Shen, a direct PhD student at the College of Control Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Cong Wang. I also received my B.E. degree from Zhejiang University.
My research lies in MLSys, LLM Inference, AI Infrastructure, and Edge Computing. Over the past two years, I have been deeply engaged in the field of Speculative Decoding. I was previously a research intern at Qwen Application and received an internship offer from the Tencent Hunyuan Qingyun Project. Currently, I work on RL Infra in the Tongyi Qwen Infra Team, where I contributed to MTP/RL infra optimization for Qwen3.6 - Qwen4.0. Outside academia, I enjoy playing basketball, video games, and photography.
