Xinyi Gu

I am a final-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at MIT EECS, advised by Prof. Kwanghun Chung. Previously, I received my B.S. from the University of Arizona.

My research focuses on data-efficient learning, with application in brain mapping, image generation and RL training for multimodal LLMs.
