About Me

Hi 👋, I am Zelin Fu, a senior undergraduate majoring in Computer Science at Northeastern University (NEU), where I am advised by Dr. Changzeng Fu at the HACI Lab. I will soon begin my MPhil studies at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), UCAS.

I’m currently doing an internship at Ant Group.

My research interests include Multimodal Large Language Models, Generative AI, and AI for Science. I am currently exploring Persona-aware Large Language Models (Persona LLMs).

You can find my CV here (Last updated: 2025/05/17).
