Learning Assistants Fall 2025

Hi! I'm Yufeng Xu, a senior majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mathematics. I'm excited to work as the learning assistant for Machine Learning and Data Structures in 25 Fall! I used to do research on controllable text generation for tool-augmented LMs and now I work on the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Reinforcement Learning. If you have questions about the two courses I’m tutoring or research in general, feel free to reach out!

Hi, my name is Tony, a sophomore majoring in Computer Science. I'm interested in web development and machine learning, and is currently a core member of the NYU Shanghai Robotics Club.
