Shichao Sun

✨ Hi everyone! I am currently a final-year PhD candidate in PolyU NLP Group at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, fortunately supervised by Prof. Maggie Wenjie Li. Before that, I received my B.S. degree (in 2017) and M.S. degree (in 2020) from Fudan University under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Zhipeng Xie. My research focuses on Large Language Model, Math Reasoning, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
🚀 Currently, I work closely with Assoc. Prof. Pengfei Liu at GAIR Lab on Large Language Models (LLMs).

🔔 I am on the 2024-2025 job market. (Last Update on May 2024)
