Songyang Zhang
Young Scientist at Shanghai AI Laboratory, Shanghai, China.

I am a Young Scientist of Shanghai AI Laboratory, collaborate with Dr. Kai Chen. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher, supervised by Prof. Dahua Lin. Currently, I lead a team working on foundation model, includes the research and open-source platform. My team intiates the OpenCompass project, an evaluation platform for foundation model. We also developed OpenMMLab projects MMPreTrain.
I obtained Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Chinese Academy of Science(UCAS), in the joint program at PLUS Lab, ShanghaiTech University in 2022. I got my B.Sc. degree in 2017 from Beihang University.
Open positions include full-time researchers/engineers and interns, feel free to contact me through the email. Research directions include: evaluation, alignment of large language model(agent, reasoning, interpretability, etc), multi-modality learning( vision/audio/-language learning), etc.
