About me
Hi, I’m Ziyi 👋, a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University, where I am advised by Prof. Dakuo Wang at the NEU HAI Lab.
My research focuses on Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a particular focus on Large Language Model (LLM) agents. 🤖
Prior to joining Northeastern, I received my bachelor’s degree in Electronic Information Science and Technology and my master’s degree in Electronic and Information Engineering from Tsinghua University. During my master’s studies, I was a member of the MSIIP Lab, where I was advised by Prof. Ji Wu.
