My name is Tianfu Wang. I am a Ph.D. student at HKUST(GZ), supervised by Prof. Hui Xiong and Dr. Nicholas Jing Yuan. I received my M.S. from USTC and my B.E. from CQU. I have also worked as a research intern at Z.ai, Kimi, Tencent CodeBuddy / WorkBuddy, Microsoft AI / MSRA, and JD Explore Academy.
I seek to answer: How can we build socially aware AI agents that empower humans to thrive?
Recently, I've been working on:
- Agent foundations: shared knowledge and context, human–agent collaboration, and agent workflows.
- Learning & creation: personalized tutoring, social skill practice, and editable artifact creation.
I'm happy to discuss research and open-source collaborations in these areas.
