Haolin Yang (杨昊霖)

Hi there! I am a final-year undergraduate at Peking University, majoring in Intelligence Science and Technology at the School of Intelligence Science and Technology, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hao Dong and work closely with my senior collaborator Yuxing Long.

My research centers on embodied intelligence and multimodal comprehension, with a focus on vision-language navigation and spatial intelligence.

I am currently interested in multimodal large language models for developer productivity, particularly LLM-based coding agents.

Miscellaneous

Beyond research, I have a wide range of hobbies — traveling, working out, basketball, and photography. Exploring new places and staying active are how I recharge outside the lab, and they keep me curious and grounded. I'm also an avid binge-watcher of TV series: my all-time favorite is Better Call Saul — I can never resist a well-crafted story about flawed, fascinating characters.
