TaiMing Lu

I am a first year PhD student at Princeton University, advised by Zhuang Liu.

Previously, I was an undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins University GO HOP!, majoring in Computer Science, Applied Math and Stats, and Economics. At Hopkins, I was fortunate to work closely with Jieneng Chen and to be advised by Prof. Daniel Khashabi, Phillip Koehn, and Alan Yuille.

I research Generative Foundation Models (e.g., LLMs, VLMs, Diffusion Models) and explore their possibilities. My interest spans Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Computer Vision.
