Hi! My name is Hao Zhang (张豪). I am currently a senior research scientist at the Language & Science AI Lab (LASA), Alibaba DAMO Academy, working on multimodal large language models (LLMs) and their applications in the biomedical field. My research focuses on developing novel techniques, including RAG, agents, complex reasoning and data synthesis, to enhance the capabilities of multimodal LLMs and apply them to address real-world challenges.

Prior joining DAMO Academy, I served as a principal engineer at Huawei Noah’s Ark Lab for two years. I received Ph.D degree at the College of Computing and Data Science at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore in July 2022, under the supervision of Professor Aixin SUN. Before that, I obtained my M.Sc degree from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at NTU in June 2016 and B.Eng degree from Dalian University of Technology (DLUT) in July 2015.
