Me and the Shiba

૮₍ ˊᗜˋ₎ა

Hi! I’m Yage Zhang — or you can just call me Laqeey /ˈlɑː.tʃi/.

I am currently a PhD student at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security, jointly supervised by Prof. Yang Zhang and Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Michael Backes. Prior to this, I obtained my Master degree at Saarland University.

My research interests focus on the Security and Structured Robustness of Generative AI Models and the Proactive Harmful Content Detection with Trustworthy Machine Learning.

news

Aug 01, 2025 I’m excited to share that I officially joined CISPA as a PhD student!
Looking forward to the journey ahead in security & privacy research.
Jul 08, 2025 My work Cutting the Root of Hallucination: Structural Trimming for Vulnerability Mitigation in Code LLMs has been accepted to COLM 2025! See you in Montréal!
Apr 29, 2025 I contributed to the development of a new dataset in collaboration with the Lab for Measurement Technology, Saarland University.
The dataset, titled A Machine Learning Dataset of Artificial Inner Ring Damages on Cylindrical Roller Bearings Measured Under Varying Cross-Influences, is now available on Zenodo. This work was made possible through support from the German Federal Government, funded by the EFRE-Programm (Saarland) within the framework of the VProSaar initiative.
Aug 01, 2024 I joined CISPA as a student research assistant(HiWi)!
Dec 15, 2023 I joined the Lab for Measurement Technology, Saarland University as a student research assistant(HiWi)!
