About Me

Hi there! I am Kemou Li, a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City (SKL-IOTSC), University of Macau, advised by Prof. Jiantao Zhou. Prior to that, I earned my BS degree in Mathematics from Sun Yat-sen University and MS degree in Artificial Intelligence from University of Macau. I also work closely with Dr. Fengpeng Li (KAUST), Dr. Qizhou Wang (RIKEN AIP), Prof. Haiwei Wu (UESTC), and Prof. Bo Han (HKBU).

My research broadly lies in trustworthy AI, with the goal of making modern machine learning systems more reliable, robust, and controllable. Earlier in my research, I worked on learning with noisy labels, adversarial training, and forgery detection. Now I am focusing on LLM unlearning, especially its theoretical foundations and its role in safer model release and post-training. I am also interested in LLM alignment, persona and behavior control, explainability, and agent security.

Outside of research, I enjoy staying active through long-distance running 🏃, basketball 🏀, and swimming 🏊. I am also quite good at Chinese calligraphy ✍️, playing the flute 🎶, and Chinese chess ♟️. Beyond these, I am a rock music 🎸 and film fan 🎬, with Radiohead and David Lynch among my favorites.
