Hi, I am Yifei Zhang (张逸飞), a master's student in Financial Engineering and Fintech at Nanjing University's School of Management & Engineering, advised by Prof. Honghai Yu. I hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Technology from the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Nanjing University, where I specialized in Computer & Financial Engineering Experimental Class (a Top Talent Program).
Currently, I am a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA), advised by Xiao Yang, focusing on Autonomous Agent research. Previously, I had the privilege of collaborating with Prof. Benyou Wang and Prof. Qianqian Xie on exploring Large Language Models in Finance.
I have published at top-tier conferences including NeurIPS and NAACL. Notably, one of my papers received the Best Paper Award at the ICLR 2025 Workshop on Advances in Financial AI, where I presented it as an oral presentation in Singapore. My research interests span Narrative Economics, Financial Applications of LLMs, and Multi-Agent Systems.
