My name is Yang Yang. I am currently a third year PhD student at the Insight Research Ireland Centre for Data Analytics, Data Science Institute, University of Galway, supervised by Prof. Edward Curry. Previously, I received my Master’s degree from the Computer Science department at Nankai University, supervised by Prof. Wei Shen.

My research interests lie in Knowledge Graph, Trustworthy AI, Large Language Models, Agents. You can find my CV here: Yang Yang’s Curriculum Vitae. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to drop me an email.
