My name is Xingcheng Yao (姚星丞). Welcome to my homepage!

I’m a first-year PhD student in computer science at UCLA, advised by Prof.Kai-Wei Chang. Prior to UCLA, I worked as a researcher at Moonshot AI, a startup that develops KimiChat. I received my Bachelor’s degree from IIIS (well known as Yao Class), Tsinghua University, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Danqi Chen and Prof. Zhilin Yang.
