Hi! I am an assistant professor in Natural Language Processing Department at MBZUAI. I got my Ph.D degree at KAUST supervised by Prof. Xiangliang Zhang and Prof. Xin Gao. Prior to KAUST, I got my B.S degree in Computer Science at Wuhan University supervised by Prof. Qian Wang and my M.S degree in Peking University, supervised by Prof. Rui Yan and Prof. Dongyan Zhao.

I have wide-ranging interests in research topics related to natural language processing and text generation. My specific focus is on enhancing the trustworthiness of generated text, which includes aspects such as robustness, faithfulness, and explainability. Additionally, I am interested in knowledge-enhanced text generation for high-stakes domain applications, particularly in the scientific, medical, and social fields.

I am actively looking for highly motivated PhD students (AED 17,500 per month), Master’s students (AED 15,500 per month), and interns (flight ticket, tuition, health insurance, visa, and a monthly stipend — PhD: AED 10,000 per month; MSc: AED 8,000 per month). All stipends are tax-free. If you are interested in working with me on generative language models, LLM-based agents, and related interdisciplinary topics please feel free to contact me at xiuying.chen@mbzuai.ac.ae. Here are some suggestions for preparing the email:

• Please use Subject Line as: “RA/Master/PhD Prospective Student \$YourName”
