Xiukun Wei /ɕjoʊˈkʊn weɪ/

I am currently a Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University, advised by Prof. Xueru Zhang. My research lies at the intersection of machine learning and algorithmic game theory, with interests in AI safety, robustness, alignment, multi-agent systems, and markets for generative AI systems.

Before joining Ohio State, I received my B.S. degree in Internet of Things Engineering from the College of Computer Science and Technology at Jilin University, where I also earned my M.S. degree under the supervision of Prof. Xiaohui Wei and Prof. Xingwang Wang. During that time, my research focused on edge computing.
