👋 Hi, I'm Ming Zhang (张明), also known as DinoBro (恐龙哥) or DinoDoctor (恐龙博士). I am a fourth-year direct Ph.D. student at the FudanNLP Lab, School of Computer Science, Fudan University, co-advised by Prof. Qi Zhang, A.P. Tao Gui, and Prof. Xuanjing Huang.

🔬 My research focuses on Large Language Model Evaluation and Dialogue Systems. Recently, I have been particularly interested in Context Learning and AI for Academia.

🏢 I previously interned at ByteDance (2024.09 – 2025.09) and am currently interning at Tencent through Tencent Project UP (腾讯青云计划, 2025.12 – Present).

🏅 I was selected for the CAST Young Talent Cultivation Program for Ph.D. Students (中国科协青年科技人才培育工程博士生专项计划, 2026).

📝 I serve as a Reviewer for AAAI, ACL ARR, ICLR, NeurIPS, and ICML, and as an Area Chair for ACL ARR. I was recognized as an Outstanding Reviewer for the ACL Rolling Review (ARR) May 2026 cycle (EMNLP 2026) and a Silver Reviewer for ICML 2026.

Beyond research, my personal interests include:

🔭 I have been a lifelong astronomy enthusiast and served as President of the Fudan Astronomy Society during my undergraduate years.

⚽ I am a devoted fan of football — my all-time idol is Lionel Andrés Messi. Congratulations to Messi and Argentina on reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final — his third World Cup final! 🇦🇷

🎮 I served as Captain of the Fudan University League of Legends Varsity Team (Jungle), peaked at Challenger (最强王者) in S3 and S12, and my favorite champion lately is Gangplank.
