I am Mo Li (李墨), a second-year Ph.D. candidate at Tsinghua University, jointly supervised by Prof. Ting Cao, Dr. Kai Chen, Prof. Yunxin Liu, and Prof. Heung-Yeung Shum. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen. My research interests include Large Language Models, Agent RL, Long Context, and Data Science. Beyond my research, I am curious about understanding the universe.

I enjoy vibe coding and build practical tools in my spare time: ccblog for AI-driven blog publishing to WeChat Official Account, Understand Everything for transforming code repositories into interactive documentation, and Whisper-Input-Next for intelligent voice transcription. I was also a main contributor to OpenCompass and VLMEvalKit, which are one-stop platforms for large model evaluation.

Other Info: INTP. Started university at 16, Ph.D. at 20. Into phonk music, swimming, skiing, photography, and piano. Favorite anime character: L Lawliet. Feel free to reach out via email.

Academic Service: Reviewer for ACL Rolling Review (ARR) 2025, ICLR 2026, ICML 2026 (Silver Reviewer).
