About

Hi there, welcome to my homepage! My name is Qiming Zhang, currently an undergraduate research intern at Johns Hopkins University & University of Georgia. I am honored to conduct my research under the guidance of Professor Chaowei Xiao & Professor Zhen Xiang. My research interests are in AI safety, with a focus on privacy and security in AI, including securing agentic LLMs against multimodal privacy leakage and OS-level risks of computer-use agents, and, more recently, understanding how agent memory shapes LLM reasoning on long horizon tasks.

Previously, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science from UW–Madison logo University of Wisconsin-Madison.

I am always open to collaboration and the exchange of ideas. If you'd like to discuss potential research opportunities or simply connect, please feel free to reach out to me at qzhang478@wisc.edu.

📢 I am actively seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2026!
