Hey! I’m Li Zhou, an NLP enthusiast and explorer🤗.

I’m currently a Postdoc research fellow at CUHK-Shenzhen, working with Prof. Haizhou Li. I received my PhD degree from UESTC in June 2024, supervised by Prof. Wenyu Chen. During my PhD journey, I visited the CoAStaL NLP group in the University of Copenhagen (2022-2023), supervised by Prof. Daniel Hershcovich and working with the rest of the team.

My research interest focuses on human-centered NLP, multilingual and multicultural alignment, LLM bias, AI Safety, semantic representation learning. I recently also focus on combining speech technology with LLMs.
