Yuchen Zhang
I am a Master’s student in Software Engineering at Xi’an Jiaotong University and a Research Intern at Tencent. I will soon begin my Ph.D. studies at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University under the supervision of Prof. Jiaxing Huang and Prof. Chengqi Zhang. My research focuses on computer vision and AI safety.
I received my bachelor’s degree from Northwest A&F University, where I worked with Prof. Rui Mao and Prof. Meili Wang on intelligent agriculture.
My master’s research is supervised by Prof. Li Zhu. I also collaborate with Prof. Yaxiong Wang and Prof. Zhedong Zheng on multimodal content understanding, particularly in misinformation detection and agent navigation.
