Wenxuan Ding

I am a second year PhD student in Computer Science at New York University (Courant Institute), working with Greg Durrett.

I spent the first year of my PhD at TAUR Lab @UT Austin before transferring out.

Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology with a major in CS and a minor in Math, where I worked with Yangqiu Song. I also worked with Yulia Tsvetkov at University of Washington.

I am looking for research internship opportunities for Summer 2026. Feel free to reach out!

Research

I am generally interested in Natural Language Processing, with recent focus on:

Interaction 🎲 — how large language models leverage their internal priors and interact with the external environment efficiently via multi-turn communication, and how they interact with other models or agents
Reasoning 🧩 — how models use and reason with knowledge, commonsense, and contextual information, and how to improve their reliability
Beyond Scaling 🪜 — studying properties that do not naturally emerge with model size or more data, such as alignment, abstention, and generator-validator consistency
