Jiarui Wu
Hi there! I am a 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 conduct research with Prof. Lei Li on Agentic AI and Information Retrival. I am currently seeking full-time MLE roles starting after my graduation in December 2026. Feel free to contact me.
More About Me
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 Multimodal LLM Reasoning and Generative AI.
Besides CS and AI, I'm a cat lover. My hobbies include fitness, listening to pop music, and making to-do lists.
