Zhengyuan Jiang

I'm a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Duke University, under the supervision of Prof. Neil Gong. Previously, I obatined my B.Eng. degree from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2022. I worked with Prof. Yu Li at CUHK in summer 2021. My research focuses on Trustworthy Generative AI.
