Sen Nie

WHU -> ICT, CAS

Hi! 🥰 I’m Sen Nie (聂森), currently a first-year Master’s student at the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), where I’m affiliated with the Visual Information Processing and Learning (VIPL) research group. I’m also a student of the State Key Laboratory of AI Safety. I’m honored to conduct my research under the supervision of Prof. Jie Zhang, Prof. Shiguang Shan, and Prof. Xilin Chen. Prior to joining CAS, I completed my undergraduate studies at the School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Wuhan University. My current research focuses on AI safety, investigating​ adversarial robustness, interpretability, and methods to mitigate hallucinations to build more reliable systems (MLLM, VLA, Agent). I’m eager to collaborate with like-minded researchers and peers. Looking forward to meaningful academic exchanges and potential cooperation!
