Hang Chen (陈航)

Researcher · Tencent Beijing, China

I work on AIGC and vision-language model (VLM) training at Tencent, which I joined through the Tencent Qingyun Talent Program. My research spans computer vision and multimodal generation, with a particular interest in visual reasoning and model alignment. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Tsinghua University in 2025. I was a member of the TSAIL Group, led by Prof. Bo Zhang and Prof. Jun Zhu, and was supervised by Prof. Xiaolin Hu. Before that, I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Physics from Tsinghua in 2020.
