About

I am Zhennan Shen. I received my B.E. in Computer Science and Technology from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2025. My research focuses on language-model agents and agentic reinforcement learning. I will join HKUST as a Ph.D. student in Fall 2026, advised by Prof. May Fung.

I have worked closely with Prof. Tao Yu at HKU NLP and with Prof. Lu Chen and Prof. Kai Yu at the X-LANCE Lab. In 2025, I interned at Moonshot AI (Kimi), contributing to the OKComputer and K2.5 projects. I currently work at JD.com on the pretraining team.
