- Actively seeking: full-time Research Scientist / Research Engineer / Applied Scientist / Member of Technical Staff roles
- Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, Graduating: May 2027
- Research areas: Large Language Models, Multimodal LLMs, LLM Agents, RAG, Computational Social Science
- Research Scientist Intern: Microsoft Research Asia (2020-2022), Adobe Research (2024), J.P. Morgan AI Research (2025), Waymo (2026), and Amazon (2026)
- SWE Intern: IBM, Amazon.
- Putting the initial letters of my interned companies (IBM, Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, J.P. Morgan, Waymo) together, you get "I AM AJW" (I am Ahren Jin, Wow~) 🤗
I build research systems that connect strong publications with practical ML deployment. My recent work spans multi-page visual document understanding, multimodal GUI understanding, retrieval-augmented generation with context compression, peer-review simulation with LLM agents, and cross-lingual LLM evaluation.
- First-authored or co-authored papers at top-tier conferences, such as ICLR, ICML, ACL, EMNLP, The Web Conference, KDD, CIKM, ICWSM, and AAAI, with multiple Oral presentations
- Research scientist internships / collaborations at J.P. Morgan AI Research, Visa Research, Adobe Research, and Microsoft Research Asia; prior engineering internships at Amazon and IBM.
- Built open research artifacts in LLM agents, evaluation, misinformation detection, scientometrics, and dynamic graph mining.
- Recipient of Best Paper Award at the AAAI 2025 Good-Data Workshop.
- UniSD - A unified framework for studying self-distillation for LLMs.
- AgentReview — LLM-agent framework for studying peer-review dynamics; EMNLP 2024 main-track oral.
- AgentArk — distilling multi-agent intelligence into a single LLM agent.
- SARA - Efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation with Context Compression; ACL 2026 main-track oral.
- XLingEval — cross-lingual evaluation of LLMs for healthcare queries. The Web Conference 2024 Oral.
- INPAC — modeling information pathways across online communities. KDD 2023 Oral.
- FinerFact — fine-grained reasoning for fake-news detection; AAAI 2022 Oral.
- SciEvo — longitudinal dataset for academic literature, metadata, and citation graphs. Best Paper Award, AAAI 2025 GoodData Workshop.
I am especially interested in Research Scientist and Applied Scientist roles where I can work on:
- Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs)
- Agentic AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Evaluation, Robustness, and Safety
- Research that moves from paper to product
If you are hiring for 2027 full-time Research Scientist / Applied Scientist roles, or want to discuss collaboration in LLMs, multimodal learning, or agent systems, I’d love to connect.
