Hi, I am Shibo Hao, a Ph.D. student at UC San Diego, Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI). My advisor is Professor Zhiting Hu. Previously, I obtained my B.S. degree in Computer Science from Peking University.

I aim to design principled methods to enhance the reasoning ability of foundation models (especially LLMs). This includes building a system-2 reasoning framework with a world model (Pandora) and a search algorithm for planning (Reasoning via planning). Besides, I’m also interested in new training methods (Flow of Reasoning) and augmenting LLMs with external tools (ToolkenGPT). We are maintaining a library (LLM Reasoners) for reasoning algorithms in a unified formulation.
