Haonan Chen (陈浩楠)

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence (GSAI) in Renmin University of China, supervised by Prof. Zhicheng Dou.

Before that, I got my bachelor degree from Harbin Institute of Technology.

My research interest is the area of Information Retrieval (IR). I am currently focusing on IR approaches driven by Large Language Models.
