Greetings! I am Zhenglin Wan (万政霖 in Chinese), and I received my Bachelor of Science from The Chinese University of Hong Kong on 2025 Fall. My research focus lies in 1)Agentic AI: How to embed the human’s learning and decision-making patterns into agentic paradigm? How to enable intelligent agent (both virtual and embodied) to perform high-level planning and strategic thinking? 2)Robot Learning & Decision-Making in Machine Learning: the algorithmic side of reinforcement learning, imitation learning, and their intersection with modern generative models. –Pursuing the genuine insight of machine learning as the foundation of AGI will be my long-term goal–.
I have been an intern researcher at Centre for Frontier AI Research, (A*STAR) at Singapore, under the supervision of Prof. Ivor Tsang and collaborated with Prof. Ong Yew Soon. In CUHK-Shenzhen campus, I was advised by Prof. Jianfeng Mao and Prof. Ming Yan. Besides, I also closely worked with Prof. Pingfu Chao and Dr. Jun Song both academically and industrially.
I am always open to collaborations, networking and potential intern opportunities, feel free to drop me an email! (vanzl3386@gmail.com)

Personal Life and History
In my spare time, I’m an music enthusiast. I’ve been playing guitar for more than 10 years and began teaching myself the piano and electronic piano at the age of 15. Music has always been a significant part of my life. During my undergraduate, I had the incredible opportunity to play in two bands: “Minor Blue” and “Major Pink.” These moments remain some of my most cherished memories. See our photos:
I am also a 15-years chess player, with the honor of “National Level-3 Athlete”. I love the process of comprehensive planning, logical-thinking and inferring. Visit my Lichess profile.
I love play basketball 🏀. Sports makes me energetic.
I play video games like League of Legends, where I achieved the “diamond” level as my historically highest honor. I also play 3A games like Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Nier Automata, and elder scrolls.
