Hung-Tu Chen

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Dartmouth, working in the Contextual Dynamics Lab. My research focus on optimizing large language models to effectively balance generalizability and specificity, leveraging insights from artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and psychology.

I received my Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Dartmouth, where I was advised by Matt van der Meer. My PhD research explored how biological and artificial networks form robust and generalizable representations - work that directly informs my current approach to language model development.

Previously, I did research at the Flatiron Institute with Alex Williams and at NYU Shanghai with Jeff Erlich. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from National Tsing Hua University.
