About me

Hi there! I am Xuran Zheng, an incoming M.S. student in the School of Electrical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST). I am working with Prof. Chang D. Yoo as part of U-AIM Lab. My research interests mainly lie in Large Language Model and Multimodality and I’m still learning more about it.

I received my B.Eng. degree with honors from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2024. Prior to that, I was a research intern at HIT IIHCI Lab, advised by Prof. Shaohui Liu.
