Weibo Li 李炜博 · “Weber”
PhD student / CIS / W.P. Carey, ASU
Hi — I’m Weibo Li (李炜博), and I also go by Weber in some cases. I’m a second-year PhD student in Computer Information Systems at the W.P. Carey School of Business, Arizona State University. My research focuses on LLM post-training, specifically its applications in digital platforms and agentic workflows.
Prior to ASU, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Tongji University in Shanghai.

LLM post-training for platform and agentic-workflow settings
My current work studies how post-trained LLM systems can be designed, evaluated, and deployed in digital-platform settings. Some projects are still early-stage, so this page keeps the research summary deliberately high-level.
