About Me

My name is Yilun Hua.

I’m a second-year Computer Science PhD student at Cornell University, advised by Yoav Artzi. My research interests include dialogues and multi-turn interactions, foundation models’ reasoning capabilities, multimodal tasks, and alignment. I’m also doing a minor in cognitive science and interested in cog sci’s relevance to AI research.

During my first-year rotation at Cornell, I also worked with Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, focusing on summarizing conversation dynamics. Before Cornell, I received my BA in Computer Science and Mathematics-Statistics from Columbia University, where I primarily worked with Kathleen McKeown.

Outside of research, I like spending time learning about art history, listening to the music from the Romantic period, and enjoying performing arts in general.
