About Me
Hello, I'm Zichong Wang, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Florida International University. I'm privileged to be under the supervision of Dr. Wenbin Zhang, whose insights have greatly enriched my research journey.
The focus of my research is to identify and mitigate the disparities that occur when the interaction of algorithms, data employed in policy formulation, and human decisions inadvertently impact underrepresented communities. My goal is to ensure that these systems are both fair and accountable, providing benefit to all and harm to none.
Research Interests
My research interests span machine learning and graph mining, with a focus on trustworthy AI, including generalization, explanation, and fairness. I am also interested in causal machine learning, which provides deeper insights into model behavior and supports trustworthy AI development. Recently, I have been exploring large language models.
I am actively seeking faculty positions as well as research scientist roles in industry. If you know of any opportunities, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share them with me. Thank you!
