Liqin Ye
I am a Machine Learning PhD candidate at Georgia Tech (ML@GT), advised by Dr. Chao Zhang and Dr. Sudheer Chava. Before Georgia Tech, I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from UC Irvine, where I worked with Dr. Stephan Mandt on diffusion models for climate simulation.
My research focuses on LLM agents, LLM forecasting, and LLMs in finance. I am always happy to talk about research or collaboration. Drop me an email at liqiny at gatech dot edu if you would like to chat.
Focus on Yourself
I am looking for a research internship for Summer 2027. Feel free to reach out!
