Dachuan Song

I work across AI, intelligent agents, memory mechanisms, long-sequence modeling, and health AI, with an emphasis on clear research questions, reproducible experiments, and rigorous empirical evaluation.

Direction

AI, Agents, and Sequence Modeling.

I am a Ph.D. student at George Mason University, advised by Prof. Xuan Wang. My current interests include intelligent agents, memory mechanisms, long-context reasoning, state-space and sequence modeling.

I focus on research problems where modeling ideas, implementation details, and empirical evaluation need to support each other.
