About me

My name is Yuancheng Xu (徐源诚) and I am a final-year PhD candidate at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I work with Furong Huang. My research focuses on large language model alignment, AI safety and fairness, as well as enhancing the reasoning and planning capabilities of AI systems. Additionally, I work on controllable video generation, aiming to recreate the world through representations of multimodal content and user-model interactions.

I am currently a research intern at Netflix Eyeline Studios working on video generation.
