Yubo Zhang

Hi! I'm a second-year PhD student at Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science, University of Southern California, where I'm co-advised by Prof. Jieyu Zhao and Prof. Muhao Chen. Previously, I obtained my BSc degree in Fintech&AI from Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University with First Class Honours, where I was advised by Prof. Jing Li.

My current research focuses on safety and fairness in Large Language Models. I'm also interested in broader topics related to Natural Language Processing, Computational Social Science, and Machine Learning.
