Lichang Chen

I am an AI research scientist at Meta Superintelligence Lab, working on agents for automating AI researchers. I did my PhD at the Computer Science Department, University of Maryland, College Park, where I work closely with Dr. Tianyi Zhou. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University. I can be reached at {bob}{my-last-name}@cs.umd.edu.

My research interests are in AI alignment and agentic systems, especially in how we can automate the realistic workflows such as foundational model research, Machine Learning, and Data Analysis. I am also interested in how to create RL enviroments scalable for improving the capabilities of AI, e.g., reasoning and instruction following.
