One composed region shows three photographs: Yuwei in a meadow beside a mountain ridge, seated at a café overlooking hills, and holding a microphone on a stage. Scroll to reveal the compositions, or use the photograph controls.

Models become agents.
Agents inhabit worlds.

I’m Yuwei. My research spans Generative Model, Agent System, and Simulation — connecting capabilities, interactions, and environments.

From a model
to a world.

I study the connections between models that generate, agents that reason and act, and environments in which behavior can be explored.

01 / Generate

Generative Model

Generative capabilities, reinforced reasoning, and world modeling.

02 / Act

Agent System

Reasoning, action, and interaction — connected into workflows and larger systems.

03 / Simulate

Simulation

Social behavior and urban activity, studied through agents in an environment.

Different places.
The same curiosity.

The photographs live together in one changing composition at the top of the page: a wider perspective, a quieter moment, and another kind of expression.
