👋 About Me

I am Yifan Jia, a final year student at the School of Information Science and Engineering (Chongxin College), Shandong University. I am supervised by Yuntao Du.

My research journey focuses on the intersection of Multimodal Learning, VLM, and Interpretability. I am particularly interested in how MLLMs handle knowledge conflicts and how data attribution can explain model behavior.

🚀 I am actively seeking PhD/MPhil positions for Fall 2026! If you’re interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out via [email protected].
