Hi, I’m Changcheng, a first-year Ph.D. advised by Prof. Ram Nevatia at the University of Southern California. Before that, I obtained my master degree under the guidance of Prof. Chen Sun at Brown University in 2023. I completed my bachelor degree in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2021. I’m broadly interested in Computer Vision where my current research mainly focuses on leveraging large language models(LLMs) in solving different downstream vision tasks. My long-term goal is to learn how multimodalities input and LLMs can help in building more robust and generalizable computational models, which can achieve reliable performance inferencing on out-of-distribution data and can be easily transferable on downstream tasks.
