Ziwen Aaron Li ζŽζ’“ζ–‡

Hi thereπŸ‘‹. I am Ziwen (Aaron) Li, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at PEACH Lab at Northeastern University advised by Prof. Tianshi Li. Before that, I received my master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCLA, advised by Prof. Xiang 'Anthony' Chen and Prof. Eunice Jun. I received a joint B.E. in Electronic Information Engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and University of Glasgow (UoG).

Research: My research focuses on human-centered privacy and agentic AI alignment. Particulary, I am interested in:

  • Understanding real-world privacy challenges in human-AI interaction
  • Developing technical alignment mechanisms that ensure autonomous agents act as reliable privacy fiduciaries, grounding agentic behavior in robust, ethically-aligned constraints.
