Jiarui Wu

Hi there! I am an incoming Master of Science in Intelligent Information Systems (MIIS) student at Carnegie Mellon University. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Rochester in 2024.

I am an AI researcher with a current research focus on Multimodal LLMs. I am currently open to summer 2026 internship opportunities. Feel free to contact me.

More About Me

I graduated one semester early from the University of Rochester. During my gap semester before enrolling in Carnegie Mellon University, I am self-studying Computer Science.

During college, I conducted AI research and projects under the supervision of Prof. Hangfeng He, Prof. Chenliang Xu, and Prof. Jiebo Luo. My past research experience focused on Generative AI and Multimodal LLMs.

Besides CS and AI, I'm a cat lover. My hobbies include fitness, reading, listening to pop music, and making to-do lists.
