Mo Li
Ph.D. Candidate at Tsinghua University.
I am Mo Li (李墨), a second-year Ph.D. candidate at Tsinghua University, jointly supervised by Prof. Ting Cao, Dr. Kai Chen, Prof. Yunxin Liu, and Prof. Harry Shum. I got my Bachelor’s degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen. My research interests include Large Language Models, Agent RL, Long Context, and Data Science. Beyond my research, I am curious about understanding the universe.
I was a main contributor to OpenCompass and VLMEvalKit, which are one-stop platforms for large model evaluation that aim to provide fair, open, and reproducible benchmarks for large language models and vision-language models. Both projects are part of OpenMMLab, which builds the most influential open-source computer vision algorithm system in the deep learning era.
Other Info: I’m an INTP who started university at 16 and began my Ph.D. journey at 20. I enjoy phonk music and my favorite anime character is L Lawliet.
Academic Service: Reviewer for ACL Rolling Review (ARR) 2025, ICLR 2026.
