Yufan Wu (吴宇凡)

Hi! I am a third-year PhD student at The Ohio State University, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, advised by Prof. Ting Zhu. Before joining OSU, I was an undergraduate at University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My research focuses on LLM agents, with an emphasis on post-training and inference-time methods for building agents that can reliably interact with tools and environments to solve real-world tasks. I am also broadly interested in remote sensing and satellite networking.
