Hi, I'm Kaiyuan.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Arizona, advised by Prof. Xiaolong Ma. Before that, I received my B.Eng. in Communication Engineering from UESTC in 2024.

My research sits at the intersection of Generative Models and Trustworthy AI.

You can reach me at kaiyuan0415@arizona.edu.

If you can provide GPU or compute resources, I'd be glad to collaborate. Please feel free to reach out.
