About Me 🙆‍♀️

I am Qingni Wang (Celia), a CS PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), advised by Prof. Xin Eric Wang and Prof. Yuheng Bu.

Previously, I received my Master’s degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and my Bachelor’s degree from China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT). I also visited Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTECH), supervised by Prof. Feng Zheng.

Research interests: uncertainty quantification, trustworthy computer use agents, hallucination in question answering and conformal prediction and risk control.

Open to collaborations and academic discussions — feel free to reach out.
