Han (Felix) Yan
Hi, I am Han (Felix) Yan (严涵), a fourth year undergraduate student studying at the The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. I'm an incoming CS PhD student at New York University (NYU) Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science in Fall 2026. I was also an exchange student at the University of Notre Dame.
I am fortunated to be advised by Prof. Jianwei Huang at the NCEL lab, Prof. Meng Jiang at the DM2 lab and Prof. Benyou Wang at the CUHKSZ Freedom AI lab.
My research interest lies in GenAI (e.g. MLLM/LLM/) Safety, AI Privacy, Trustworthy AI, CoT, Reinforcement Learning Reward Model and etc. Currently, I am exploring CoT and RL Reward Model Design.
Please feel free to drop me an Email for any form of communication or collaboration!
