Huitao Yang
Master Student in Statistics @ UCLA

Hello — I’m Huitao. I study foundation models, focusing on interpreting their behavior through theory and controlled experiments. I am also passionate about topics in RL and probability.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Mathematics & Applied Mathematics at Fudan University. I am grateful to Prof. Guanting Chen, Prof. Andrea Zanette, and Prof. Zengfeng Huang for their mentorship and support.
Outside of academia, I enjoy hiking, biking, playing soccer, and diving into board games.
I am still working on building this site…
