Qibing Ren「任麒冰」

I am a PhD candidate at the DMCV lab of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am currently the class leader of Wu Wenjun Honorary Doctoral Program at SJTU. My PhD advisor is Lizhuang Ma.

Previously, I received my B.S. from SJTU. I also spent time at AI research labs of MiniMax, Tencent, ByteDance and Shanghai AI Lab.

Research Topics

I'd like to train superintelligent AI that is both 'smart' and 'safe' for human goodness. So, to make safe AI, I am interested in human-computer interaction, AI alignment, and AI safety. I am also developing advanced multimodal AI systems.
