PhD Student in Computer Science

Jinhe Bi

My name is . I am a PhD student at LMU Munich advised by Prof. Volker Tresp, working on post-training and agentic reasoning. I am also a visiting researcher at NUS NExT++ with Prof. Chua Tat-Seng, studying latent knowledge in post-training, and a research intern at Huawei 2012 working on efficient post-training.

Open to active collaborations across research, projects, and mentoring; open-source by default, with all current works released publicly. Discussions, issues, and collaboration ideas are welcome by email or WeChat.

Research

01

Efficient AI

Efficiency as a scaling axis: reducing trainable parameters, supervision, and adaptation cost while preserving generalization.

02

Post-Training Optimization

Stable and sample-efficient post-training through RLVR, OPD, and SFT as controllable optimization stages.

03

Agentic Reasoning

Long-horizon task solving under extended interaction, tool-use, and delayed-feedback settings.
