I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Science at the University of Exeter, previously I worked at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the University of Liverpool. I earned my PhD from the University of Liverpool, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaowei Huang and Prof. Xinping Yi.

I am interested in developing reliable (e.g., robust, generalisable, and efficient [NeurIPS20,CVPR22,23,ICCV23a,TIFS25,ICLR25a]) algorithms for modern machine learning models and applications [ICCV23b,AAAI23,ECCV24]. I focuse on aligning AI with human values/preferences [ICML24,ICLR25b], while providing formal theoretical (usually statistical) guarantees and rigorous analyses [TMLR22,TPAMI25].

I am pleased to announce multiple openings for PhD and internship positions for the 2024/25 academic year. Scholarships are available through the University of Exeter and the CSC-Exeter program. If you are interested in these opportunities or would like to discuss potential collaborations, please don’t hesitate to contact me at g.jin@exeter.ac.uk.
