Jiatong Li
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Madison where I am fortunate to be advised by Dr. Sharon Li. My current research focuses on Agentic Memory for LLM Agents and User-Engaged LLM agents.
Previously, I earned my M.S. and B.S. degrees in Data Science from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2025 and 2022, respectively, under the supervision of Dr. Qi Liu. My prior research experience spans perturbation-driven LLM robustness evaluation, data mining, and cognitive diagnosis for intelligent education. Throughout my academic journey, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Dr. Mengxiao Zhu at USTC, Dr. Xiang Liu at Educational Testing Service, Dr. Renjun Hu at Alibaba Cloud, and Dr. Yifei Yuan at University of Copenhagen.
