Ci Zhang
I am Ci Zhang, a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Georgia (UGA), advised by Geng Yuan. Before that, I got my M.S. degree at the Ohio State University, supervised by Rongjun Qin. My research interests include MLLM/LLM and generative models. Currently, I am focusing on diffusion models and continual learning on MLLM/LLM. Feel free to contact me if my work aligns with your team’s goals!
Research Interests
My research focuses on:
- Continual learning for MLLM/LLM
- Diffusion models and their applications
- Efficient VLA
More broadly, I am interested in efficient and robust learning algorithms that allow modern generative models to adapt to new data and tasks over time without catastrophic forgetting.
