Short Bio

I am Xingli Fang (方星力 in Chinese), a Ph.D. candidate at North Carolina State University advised by Dr. Jung-Eun Kim. Prior to that, I got my Master Degree (Computer Engineering) from Syracuse University and Bachelor Degree (Software Engineering) from Northeastern University (China).

My current research lies at trustworthy machine learning – with a special focus on building privacy-safe and efficient ML. My research interests include privacy, efficient AI, semi-supervised learning, and generative models.
