Tianhao’s research is driven by a passion for developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems that are not only powerful but also trustworthy and reliable, ensuring its’ responsible and ethical deployment.
Objective #1 → Assess the responsibility and trustworthiness of AI systems.
Derczynski, Leon, et al. "garak: A Framework for Security Probing Large Language Models." arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.11036 (2024).
Based on this objective, we can dive into following aspects:
- (i) Explore new evaluation surface; [Li et al., 2024]
- (ii) Enhance the effectiveness of evaluation;
- (iii) Expand the scope of evaluation targets; [Li et al., 2024; Zheng et al., 2024]
- (iv) Judge the evaluation automatically. [Li et al., 2023]

Research Philosophy
- The ultimate goal of research is to improve the quality of human life, emphasizing that our work is dedicated to serving and benefiting humanity.
- Research must adhere to the highest ethical standards, ensuring honesty, transparency, and respect for all individuals and communities involved.
- Conducting research or managing a research group feels much like running a startup—both require vision, strategy, resource management, and a relentless drive to innovate.
- Collaboration is vital to advancing research. Teams enriched with diverse backgrounds and perspectives bring unique insights, fostering innovation and comprehensive solutions.
- Research should strive to complete the cycle from discovery to application, ensuring that findings have real-world impact rather than ending with publication.
