Hi, my name is Haoze Wu (吴昊泽 in Chinese). I am a first-year MPhil student at HKUST NLP Group. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Junxian He. Before that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science from CKC Honors College, Zhejiang University, in 2025. I previously spent some time at Shanghai AI Lab and am currently contributing to the Agentic RL team at MiniMax AI.

🧠 Research Interests

My research focuses on scaling agentic Reinforcement Learning, with an emphasis on two closely related directions:

  • Environments and supervision — building diverse, realistic, long-horizon environments and developing reliable, dense supervision for agent learning.
  • Compute allocation and generalization — understanding how to allocate training compute effectively and when learned capabilities generalize to new tasks, environments, and agent harnesses.
