Haolin Yang 杨昊霖

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

My research is united by a common goal: understanding how agents perceive, reason, and interact in real-world scenarios across both physical and digital environments. This includes both embodied navigation agents and multimodal agents.

I am currently interested in developing long-horizon agents powered by multimodal large language models, particularly coding agents that improve developer productivity.

中文简介

我是北京大学信息科学技术学院智能科学与技术系的大四本科生,师从董豪教授,并与 Yuxing Long 学长紧密合作。我的研究围绕一个共同目标展开:理解智能体如何在涵盖物理与数字环境的真实场景中感知、推理和交互,研究对象包括具身导航智能体和多模态智能体。目前,我尤其关注基于多模态大语言模型的长程智能体,特别是能够提升开发效率的编程智能体。

Miscellaneous

Beyond research, I enjoy traveling, working out, basketball, and photography. Exploring new places and staying active help me recharge outside the lab and keep me curious and grounded.

I am especially drawn to fitness because I see a healthy body as the foundation for everything else. The gradual progress that comes from consistent effort gives me a reassuring sense of stability — a constant amid change.

I've played basketball since elementary school, and Stephen Curry is my favorite player. He showed me that basketball is about skill, not just height, and I admire his humility as much as his game. Inspired by him, I helped my team win our high school basketball league championship as a starting player. Beyond competition, basketball has given me lifelong friendships and a lasting love of sport.

Beyond sports, I also enjoy films and TV series. My all-time favorite series is Better Call Saul — in Saul Goodman's words, “It's showtime, folks!”

When it comes to cinema, Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. To me, his films are something to feel, rather than simply remember. I love their immersive visual experience, the restraint in his storytelling, and his reflections on civilization and the choices that shape it.
