Ziwen Aaron Li 李梓文

Hi there👋. I am Ziwen (Aaron) Li, a second-year 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: I develop trustworthy and adaptive agents systems, focusing on how agents acquire information, coordinate reasoning, and delegate tasks under privacy and resource constraints. Specifically,

• Data minimization in agentic systems
• Tool-calling agents and adaptive agent orchestration
• Privacy-preserving AI

🙌 Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested in my research projects or potential collaboration.

I am actively looking for research internship opportunities for summer 2027. Feel free to reach out if you think I would be a good fit.
