About Me

I am Zixuan Wang, a Physics undergraduate at Tsinghua University (class of 2023). My research aims toward human-centered AI and autonomous agentic systems—LLMs that reason, plan, and act with people.

I am a remote research assistant at Carnegie Mellon University (ECE), advised by Prof. Andrea Zanette. During my Fall 2025 exchange at UC San Diego, I was an undergraduate researcher at the UCSD MixLab (HDSI) with Dr. Zhen Wang. Earlier, I was an AI intern at MiroMind AI, mentored by Dr. Yuntao Chen.

Beyond academics and research... 🌍 Exploration: I enjoy traveling and experiencing diverse cultures. I spent an unforgettable Christmas 🎄 in 2025 by the seaside in the beautiful town of La Jolla 🏡.
🔬 Visits: In Summer 2024, I participated in a social practice program in Singapore 🇸🇬, conducting research visits to leading institutions including A*STAR, Nanyang Technological University 🎓, and National University of Singapore 🏛️.
🤖 Competition: In Summer 2025, I contributed as a team member to the Tinker Robot Team at Tsinghua University's Future Robotics Club, competing in RoboCup@Home 2025 in Salvador, Brazil 🇧🇷. We developed an LLM-driven domestic service robot with decision-making capabilities, achieving 8th place globally 🏆.
🎼 Music: I am an active member of the Tsinghua University Symphonic Band, playing saxophone 🎷 and contributing to performances 🎭 and campus events 🎪.
🧗 Sports: I enjoy volleyball🏐, swimming🏊, and gyms 🏋️!

Research Interests

My research interests lie in advancing LLM algorithms that enable more reliable, adaptive, and autonomous interaction with humans. I am particularly interested in LLM alignment, leveraging synthetic data, structured supervision, and preference-based training to improve models’ understanding of human intent while ensuring privacy and safety. I also work on agentic LLM systems with long-horizon capabilities, including long-context reasoning, planning, tool use, and self-refinement in real-world grounded environments.
