I’m Xiaoran Shang (Chinese: 尚萧然), presently a fourth-year undergraduate student studying Information Security at Cyber Science and Engineering (SCSE), Wuhan University (WHU).

I am currently an intern at Shanghai AI Laboratory, advised by Lijun Wu. I will be joining University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) as a Ph.D. student in Fall 2026, supervised by Prof. Feng Zhao. Previously, I worked closely with Prof. Mang Ye at the MARS Lab, School of CS, Wuhan University.

My research interests primarily lie in Data-Centric AI, Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). I am open to any research collaboration. Feel free to contact me via Email or WeChat.
