👋 Hi! I am Kaixin Wang (王开新), a senior researcher at Microsoft Research Asia, working on building AI agents. Previously, I did my postdoc at Technion, fortunately advised by Prof. Shie Mannor. Even earlier, I spent my PhD time at the National University of Singapore and undergraduate time at Nanjing University.

I am broadly interested in topics in (deep) RL, such as state representation, generalization and world models. Feel free to reach out to me for a chat!

My Academic Toolbox
  • 🎨 Draw.io (now diagrams.net): A very powerful yet easy-to-use tool for creating diagrams / plots.
  • 💿 PaperMemory: A handy browser extension to store papers I read, and much more.
  • 📐 GeoGebra: A nice tool for interactive visualization of 2D/3D geometry.
  • ∭ LaTeXiT: A handy equation editor when I do need LaTex rather than MathJax (e.g., using euscript font).
