I am Zhiyuan Liang, who is a PhD student at University of Michigan supervised by Prof. Joyce Yan-Ran Wang and Prof. Wei Lu.

Previously, I received my bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China. During my undergraduate studies, I was fortunate to intern at USTC Lab of Data Science, UNC AIMING Lab, and NUS HPC AI Lab.

My research interest lies at the intersection of Large Language Models and Efficient Machine Learning. I am actively exploring foundation model pretraining, LLM reasoning and agentic adaptation, as well as other interesting directions.
