I’m a graduate student in Computer Software Engineering at Northeastern University – College of Engineering, specializing in machine learning, multi-modal model safety, and end-to-end AI system development. I was previously a Research Assistant at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), supervised by Prof. Renjing Xu.
My research focuses on making generative and embodied AI systems more trustworthy, robust, and efficient, aiming for reliable performance in real-world scenarios.
Beyond academia, I’m also an open-source developer, collaborating with Google’s Flutter team to contribute to Flutter’s framework and engine. I deeply believe in the open-source spirit and its power to make the world better, remaining dedicated to making ongoing contributions to the community.
📌 I’m actively seeking PhD opportunities starting Fall 2026.
I’m open to academic collaborations and discussions. Feel free to reach out: im.shaojing@gmail.com
