About Me

Hi! I'm Yifan Wang, a first year PhD student as a member of RTG: Neuroexplicit models of language, vision and action project at Saarland University. Currently I'm co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Vera Demberg and Prof. Dr. Isabel Valera. Prior to this, I obtained my Master degree in Language Science and Technology at Saarland University and Bachelor degree in Germanistics at Shanghai Jiaotong University. I have also spent an exchange semester at Heidelberg Univeristy in 2018/19.

My current research focuses on identifying and addressing undesired behaviors in NLP systems, with a particular interest in detecting and mitigating social biases in LLMs. I'm also passionate about improving the interpretability of deep neural networks. Additionally, I'm exploring new research directions that I find both interesting and meaningful for the future of AI development.

In my free time, I enjoy walking around in the city. As probably the worst cook in Germany, I'm always willing to join a food adventure (check out some failed fried eggs here).

For further information, welcome to have a look at my CV.
