I am Yiran Xu (徐一冉), a senior undergraduate in Computer Science at Fudan University.
My research interests lie in mechanistic interpretability, latent modularity in Transformers, and evaluation of long-form reasoning and creativity in large language models.

I am currently working with Prof. Yixin Cao (Fudan University) and Prof. Robert Dick (University of Michigan) on:

  • understanding how internal activations in LLMs give rise to expert-like submodules, and
  • using activation-space structure to evaluate reasoning quality beyond surface correctness.

I plan to apply for PhD programs starting Fall 2026.
