Haosheng (Woody) Gan

Hey! I’m Woody, a first-year CS PhD student at the School of Interactive Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology🐝.

I do research on NLP and multimodal models for vision and audio. I’m interested in making AI models more interpretable and human-centered.

Currently, I am working with Professor Kartik Goyal at Kargo Lab. Before joining GT, I received my BS degrees in Computer Science and Applied Math at USC✌️. I was very fortunate to be advised by Professor Vatsal Sharan, Professor Willie Neiswanger, and Professor Mahdi Soltanolkotabi at USC, and Professor Diyi Yang at Stanford. I’m grateful to learn from my amazing PhD mentors Deqing Fu at USC and William Held at Stanford during my undergrad.

When I’m not training models or writing papers, you can find me playing or watching soccer⚽. I play left wing and people say I’m the next Vini Jr—hit me up if your team needs a good player! I also volunteer through VolunteerMatch. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in collaborating or just chatting!
