About Me

I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering in Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), where I am advised by Prof. Liang Chen. I received my Master and Bachelor degrees from South China Agricultural University (SCAU), respectively in 2021 and 2019. My research interests include:

  • Large Language Models (LLMs)

  • Graph Learning

  • Trustworthy AI (e.g., Fairness, Reliability, etc.)

🔥🔥🔥 I am in the 2026 fall job market and actively seeking postdoctoral and industry opportunities. Feel free to reach out to me via email (zhuych27@mail2.sysu.edu.cn) or WeChat (id: zyc1402348383).

💻 Internships

  • 2024.03 - 2025.05, Tencent AI Lab, Machine Intelligence Group, Shenzhen, China.

🔥 News

  • 2025.05:  🎉🎉 One paper on diversity evaluation of LLM-generated data was accepted by ICML 2025.
