I’m Yi Gu (顾逸, gù yì), a second year Ph.D. student in Data Science at Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute of UC San Diego. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Zhiting Hu.

Prior to joining UCSD, I obtained my B.ENG. degree at ACM Honors Class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in June 2022, advised by Prof. Yong Yu.

My research interest lies in foundational models and reasonings. In particular, I am recently working on the reasoning ability of nowadays LLMs (RAP, Reasoners), and also building World Models (Pandora), aiming for the next-generation machine reasoning beyond LLMs.
