Wenhu Chen [陈文虎 in Chinese]![]() Researcher in Artificial IntelligenceEmail: hustchenwenhu [at] gmail [dot] com Google Scholar  /  CV (updated in July 25)  /  Github  /  Twitter BiographyWenhu Chen is an AI researcher. He obtained the Canada CIFAR AI Chair Award in 2022. He worked at Google DeepMind from 2021 to 2025, where he contributed to the Gemini multimodel and evaluation efforts. Before that, he obtained his PhD from the CS department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research interest lies in natural language processing, deep learning, and multimodal learning. He aims to design models that handle complex reasoning scenarios, such as math problem-solving and knowledge grounding. He is also interested in building more powerful multimodal models to bridge different modalities. He won the prestigious Golden Jubilee Research Excellence Award at the University of Waterloo in 2025. He received the Area Chair Award in AACL-IJCNLP 2023, the Best Paper Honorable Mention in WACV 2021, and the UCSB CS Outstanding Dissertation Award in 2021.Research InterestMy research interest covers the following aspects:
