About me

Hi, I’m Shijie Chen, a fifth-year Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University (OSU) co-advised by Prof. Yu Su and Prof. Huan Sun. Before joining OSU, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen, China. Here is my CV.

My research interest lies in natural language processing (NLP), especially on large language models (LLMs) and AI agents. I’m generally interested in understanding language semantics and building AI systems that are more interpretable and trustworthy.
