Lingxi Zhang

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Rice University, where I am advised by Dr. Hanjie Chen. I previously worked with Dr. Xia “Ben” Hu. My research focuses on Large Language Models (LLMs), with a specific emphasis on the efficiency and safety of multi-agent systems. I also have a strong background in knowledge-intensive tasks, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Knowledge Base Question Answering (KBQA).

Prior to Rice, I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees from Renmin University of China, where I worked with Dr. Jing Zhang on knowledge graphs and LLM reasoning.

I am actively seeking Research Scientist, Applied Scientist, or ML Engineer internship opportunities starting May 2026. Please feel free to connect!
