Hi there! I am Haoran Ye (叶皓然). I am soon to join Peking University as a Ph.D. student this September, under the guidance of Prof. Guojie Song. I recently obtained my B.Eng. from Soochow University, where I had the honor to work closely with Prof. Zhiguang Cao, Prof. Helan Liang, Prof. Yong Li, and Prof. Fanzhang Li. My current research interests include Large Language Models, the interdisciplinary field of AI and Psychology, Neural Combinatorial Optimization, and Evolutionary Computation.
