Peking University

I’m Zeming Wei (魏泽明), a third-year undergraduate at School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University. I was also a visiting student at UC Berkeley in Fall, 2023. I am interested in improving the trustworthiness of Machine Learning, specifically focusing on mechanism interpretability, adversarial robustness, and generative AI safety.

If you are interested in collaborating with me, please send me an email.
