Zhipeng Yin

Hello, my name is Zhipeng Yin. I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences (KFSCIS) at Florida International University, fortunate to be advised by Dr. Wenbin Zhang, whose expertise lies in Reliable AI.

My research centers on trustworthy AI, with a particular focus on algorithmic fairness, reliability, interpretability, as well as the intricate copyright and intellectual property challenges brought by generative models.

Along my academic journey, I was honored to receive the Best Student Paper Award at ECML-PKDD 2025. Guided by my advisor, my academic lineage connects back to the legendary mathematician Paul Erdős, granting me an Erdős number of 4 (me -> Wenbin Zhang -> Alan Evans -> David Avis -> Erdős), a symbolic reflection of my commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration and scholarly excellence.

Before entering academia, I worked as a software engineer and game developer. One of my most rewarding projects was contributing to Top War, a game now enjoyed by over `100 million` players worldwide. Outside of research and coding, I am an avid photographer drawn to the beauty of nature, capturing sunrises, sunsets and starry skies to tell visual stories through my lens.

Thank you for stopping by to read a little bit about me. Whether you’re interested in research, tech, or just want to share a favorite photo spot, I hope you’ll reach out—after all, every conversation is the start of a new story.
