About Me

Hi👋, my name is Qi Zhang (张棋 in Chinese). You can also call me Max. I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate at Computer & Information Sciences Department of Temple University. I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Eduard Dragut. I also closely work with Dr. Cornelia Caragea and Dr. Longin Jan Latecki.

My primary research interests are centered around Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs) and Machine Learning (ML). Specifically, the topics I am interested in are:

  • LLM for Structure Modeling (LLM4X)
  • Structure Knowledge for LLMs (X4LLM)
  • LLMs Agentic System

I am/was the research assistant for several NSF funded projects, including:
