Hello, I am Zihan Luo, a third-year CS Ph.D. candidate at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), where I am fortunate to be supervised by Professor Hong Huang and Senior Researcher Jianxun Lian. Before that, I received my Bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering from HUST in 2020, and was fortunate to be advised by Professor Rui Yin from 2019-2020.
My research interests mainly include large language models and graph data mining, especially on topics like fairness and bias. I have published several papers at the top international AI conferences and journals with .
