Qin Liu

I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UC Davis LUKA Lab. I am grateful to be advised by Muhao Chen.
I am broadly interested in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. My long-term goal is to build robust, controllable, accountable, and responsible large language models. My recent work focuses on enhancing safety alignment of LLMs and VLMs.
