Weize Liu

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Prof. Furong Huang.

My research interests lie in improving foundation models, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), with a focus on reasoning, agentic capabilities, synthetic data, and reinforcement learning. My previous research experience has primarily focused on enhancing the reasoning, reliability, interpretability, and efficiency of LLMs through post-training (SFT, RL) and data synthesis techniques. I am currently continuing my work to improve the reasoning and agentic capabilities of LLMs by developing better algorithms and data.

I am actively seeking a research internship for summer 2026 (based in the United States) and welcome any referrals or connections. I am also open to research collaborations; if you are interested in working together, please feel free to reach out via email.
