Yiyang (Wendy) Wu

I am a fourth-year undergraduate student at University of Southern California where I'm working with Prof. Jieyu Zhao. I major in Computer Science (CS) and double minor in Psychology and Economics (my previous majors before Computer Science). I'm broadly interested in natural language processing and computational social science. I am seeking Master in Computer Science opportunities for Fall 2025.

Research

My research focuses on refining reinforcement learning (RL) frameworks to address challenges unique to large language models (LLMs), such as misalignment. I am also interested in leveraging LLMs to enhance mental health support, addressing diverse emotional and narrative expressions. Ultimately, I want to design adaptive, ethical AI systems for personalized and empathetic interactions.
