Jiayu (Mila) Wang

I am Jiayu (pronounciation: “Jee-ah-yü Wahng”), a PhD student in Computer Sciences at UW-Madison. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Aws Albarghouthi and Prof. Fred Sala.

I am passionate about building efficient and intelligent foundation models. My recent works focus on:

• Data- and compute-efficient Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) (e.g., LLM routing)
• Logical and mathematical reasoning for LLMs and VLMs (e.g., grammar-aligned decoding, spatial reasoning)

I’m always happy to discuss research, answer questions, or just chat! Feel free to reach out through my socials (see RHS →).
