Zifeng Ding

I am a Research Associate (Postdoctoral Researcher) at the University of Cambridge. Currently, I am working with Prof. Andreas Vlachos in the Cambridge NLIP Group. I was a Computer Science PhD at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, supervised by Prof. Volker Tresp and funded by Siemens AG. I was also a nominated PhD of the ELLIS Society, co-supervised by Prof. Michael Bronstein. Prior to that, I obtained my MSc degree at the Technical University of Munich and my BEng degree at East China Normal University, both in Electrical Engineering.

My current research interests include but are not limited to agentic AI, reasoning with LLMs (in particualr temporal reasoning), synthetic data generation, and LLM hallucination detection/mitigation. I also have extensive experience in knowledge representation learning during my PhD, focusing on temporal knowledge graphs and natural language question answering.

Currently I am a Visiting Research Scientist at Eigent AI, trying to find the scaling laws of AI agents with CAMEL-AI. I wish to be part of our journey towards AGI.

I am very interested in supervising talented PhD, master and bachelor students in publishing top-tier papers. Feel free to send me an email for enquiry. But please note that scientific research is a gradual and continuous endeavor. I hope you have sufficient effort and patience.
