Ziqing Yang

This is Ziqing Yang, a fourth-year PhD student at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, co-advised by Prof. Michael Backes and Dr. Yang Zhang. My research focuses on trustworthy machine learning, with a particular interest in exploring the security and safety risks in generative AIs and agents.

Before that, I completed a B.Sc. in Intelligence Science and Technology and a second major in Chinese Language and Literature (B.A.) at Peking University. Advised by Prof. Ming Zhang, I focused on knowledge representation and graph analysis. During my undergraduate, I was also a research intern at UCLA under the supervision of Prof. Yizhou Sun, working on the combination of knowledge graphs and logical rules.

research interests

I am interested in the intersection of machine learning and security, especially using a mathematical methodology to understand and address the problem.

• Trustworthy machine learning (safety, privacy, and security)
• Generative models and agents
• Graph analysis
