About Me
Hi! I’m Langzhou He, a second-year Ph.D. student in Big Data and Social Computing (BDSC) Lab at the University of Illinois Chicago. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Philip S. Yu. I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science with honors from Southwest University, where I worked closely with Prof. Li Tao and Prof. Chao Gao.
My research interests primarily lie in machine learning, LLms and Agentic RL. My current research focuses on the fundamental challenges of generative AI, specifically addressing model hallucinations and optimizing inference efficiency. By developing principled frameworks for relational data, I strive to create robust and efficient autonomous agents for high-stakes scientific research.

Misc
- My Chinese name is 何浪舟.
- Out of research, I’m a huge sports enthusiast with a broad range of interests.
- I’m passionate about sports, especially football and Formula 1. I’m a loyal supporter of Real Madrid and Lewis Hamilton. When I’m not cheering for them, you’ll likely find me on the tennis court or hitting the slopes for some skiing.
- Music is an important part of my life. I like K-pop, my favorite group is aespa. I really enjoy classical music. Check out some of my favorite performances:
