About Me

Hello! I am Xianlong Wang, a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Chair Professor Xiaohua JIA (ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow). Prior to that, I earned a B.E. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in June 2022, and obtained an M.E. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in June 2025, mentored by Professor Shengshan Hu and Professor Leo Yu Zhang. My research interests focus on Trustworthy LLMs, Trustworthy Embodied AI, AI Security, and Video Generative Models. I am always open to research communication and collaboration, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested. Email address: xianlong.wang at my.cityu.edu.hk
