Dr. Liangming Pan is an assistant professor at the University of Arizona's College of Information Science. Previously, he was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara, working with Professor William Yang Wang. Dr. Pan completed his PhD from National University of Singapore in 2022, working on complex question answering and generation. 

Dr Pan's primary research lies in the areas of natural language processing and machine learning. The overarching goal of his research is how to build trustworthy large language models that are logical, truthful and safe. Specifically:

  1. Reasoning: How/why can LLMs consistently perform logical and faithful reasoning?
  2. Truthfulness: How can LLMs produce accurate, unbiased and up-to-date information?
  3. Safety: How can we discover and mitigate the potential harm caused by LLMs?
