I am Ava Pan, an undergraduate student at Zhejiang University, expected to graduate in June 2027. My current research lies broadly in multimodal AI, with interests spanning medical image analysis, speech behavior modeling, AI safety for T2I models, and GTransformer in power systems.
My goal is to develop AI systems that are not only performant, but also interpretable, robust, and useful in real-world settings.

š A little more about Ava
- I love classical music, especially symphonic music. I have been playing the trumpet for 10 years and have been in an orchestra since I was 12. But I hope to play jazz in the future, lol.
- I have a lovely cat called Scone, and I like animals!
- Iām really interested in history and politics, and I get excited when talking about them.
