Yifei Shen

Hi! I’m a first-year master’s student at the University of Washington in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prior to UW, I received my BEng from Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and Liverpool University in 2024, advised by Prof. Jieming Ma.

I’m currently working as a remote intern at the Yale NLP Lab. Previously, I worked as a Research Intern on a collaborative project between the University of Washington and Lenovo Research, advised by Prof. Radha Poovendran and Dr. Yan Li.

I’m seeking research intern positions in large language models and PhD opportunities for Fall 2026.
