About me

👋 Greatings / 你好 !

I’m Shiyuan(Sean) Zhang, currently a first-year CS major master’s student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (2023-Now). My research interest lies in trustworthy machine learning, data centric AI, LLM, and machine unlearning. Currently I am fortunate to work with Professor Jiaqi Ma. Prior to this, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Statistics also at the UIUC (2019-2023).

In life, I have the perfect companionship of this white rag called Lulu.
