Iโ€™m a researcher at Alibabaโ€™s Tongyi Lab, working on the safety, trustworthinese, and cultural inclusiveness of large language models. In parallel, I study speech understanding and real-time interpretation.

I earned my Ph.D. in 2024 from Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Kui Ren and Prof. Zhongjie Ba, with joint guidance from Prof. Yuan Hong at the University of Connecticut. My research focuses on trustworthy AI, aiming to improve the safety, robustness, and privacy of multimodal models.

Iโ€™m always open to collaboration. Feel free to reach out at ixinyuzhang AT gmail.com. Weโ€™re also recruiting intern researchers.
