Haigang Zhou周海刚

I am a Ph.D. student in the Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) group at Nanjing University, supervised by Prof. Penghui Yao. My research interests are quantum computing, quantum information, and quantum complexity theory.

I am also interested in large language models (LLM) and AI for Science. In 2025, I interned at MiniMax, where I contributed to training MiniMax-M1, focusing on supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning for mathematical reasoning. I was also invited as a company representative to attend WAIC 2025 (news coverage).

Outside of research, I enjoy photography and learning languages. I am currently learning Japanese and French. Thanks to AI, I never run out of ways to learn and practice! I have written a reusable AI-agent skill for building a Japanese learning website, available in my Japanese Study Studio project. I also provided the complete Simplified Chinese translation for Every Letter, a narrative game about writing letters on behalf of others.
