I am Zhuoheng Li, a Ph.D. student at Penn State University in the College of Information Sciences and Technology.

Previously, I completed a dual degree program through the University of Michigan and Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a Minor in Mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and a Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Engineering from SJTU.

I have conducted several researches under the guidance of Professors Zhenhui Li, Guanjie Zheng, Yi Shi, Zhuoran Song, and Justin Kasper.

My current research interests lie in Large Language Models (LLMs) and Extended Reality (XR), with a focus on their intersection with security and spatial temporal applications.
