[CV]

Hi All!

🧑‍🎓 CS PhD Student @ UPitts
🔬 NLP and Large Language Model Researcher

My name is Zhuowei/Johnny. I'm an incoming CS PhD student at University of Pittsburgh, closely work with Lorraine Li.

I completed my bachelor study at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies - 广外 and UC Berkeley (Year-3), with a degree in Software Engineering. During the undergrad study, I actively work with Lianxi Wang from Data Mining Lab at GDUFS, and Shichao Pei from UMass Boston.

I was honored as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Youths (广外十佳青年), the highest distinction awarded to students across ALL students at GDUFS (rk 10/30,000).

My research interests mainly focus on LLM Safety, LLM Applications and efficient NLP methods.

Feel free to reach out for questions and collaborations!
