Hi! 🙌 I’m Jing ( /dʒɪŋ/ ) Chen, ****a first-year Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech, advised by Prof. ****Tu Vu. I am broadly interested in LLMs and AI agents, especially in improving LLMs’ reasoning ability and enhancing agentic behaviors such as adaptive planning, self-reflection, and long-horizon decision-making. I received my master’s degree at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. ****Tian Feng.

I am actively looking for a Summer 2026 research internship! If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out 🚀
