About myself
Hi! I'm Shiyuan (Sean) Zhang, a CS master’s student at UIUC, researching data-centric ML, trustworthy NLP, and vision-language models. I'm fortunate to work with Prof. Jiaqi Ma. Before this, I earned my Bachelor’s degree also at UIUC.
I have the perfect companionship of a white rag named Lulu—a quiet witness to my many late-night coding sessions and research explorations.
