🌊 The Voyage of Weihang

My name, Weihang (伟θˆͺ), means "great voyage" β€” a name inspired in part by my father, whose name includes the character for "sea" (ζ΅·). It reminds me that even when winds rise, if the heart stays calm, the ship stays steady.

πŸ“š A Lifelong Curiosity for Philosophy

Since childhood, I've been fascinated by philosophy as a way of thinking and perceiving the world. I was first drawn to Wang Yangming's school of thought in middle school and deeply resonated with the idea of unity between knowing and doing. In university, I explored Western and modern philosophy through electives, gaining a more structured understanding of epistemology, ethics, and existentialism. Philosophy continues to shape how I think and live.

I chose to study machine learning and LLMs because they offer new ways of perceiving and shaping the world. I read philosophy and practice meditation to explore the inner landscape.
