I'm Yanchuan (Bobby)

Computer Science Senior | Seeking CS PhD (Fall 2026)

About Me

I'm passionate about building intelligent systems and understanding how they work at a fundamental level. Currently at University of Wisconsin-Madison seeking PhD opportunities for 2026 Fall. If you have positions available, I'd love to discuss!

Research Interests

My research focuses on Trustworthy Multimodal Large Language Models, with emphasis on:

Interpretability - Understanding MLLM biases and decision-making mechanisms
Safety - Ensuring reliable and secure MLLM behaviors
Multimodal Alignment - Improving cross-modal understanding and consistency

Projects & Development

I also love building tools that save people time! I created a UW-Madison Course Schedule to ICS converter for easy calendar import, and I'm developing a campus community platform for housing rentals, secondhand trading, and ridesharing β€” because I believe technology should make our daily lives more efficient.
