About Me

I am Junlin Fang (方俊麟), an incoming Ph.D. student at the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), starting in Spring 2026. I will be fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Sean Du.

Previously, I obtained both my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from Southwest Jiaotong University. During my studies, I was advised by Prof. Fengmao Lv and had a close and fruitful collaboration with Prof. Wenya Wang.

My research interests include the Reliability, Security, Alignment, and Reasoning of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs).
