I am Yibo Peng, a Researcher at UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. David Wagner and working closely with PhD student Sizhe Chen. My recent research focuses on AI security in real-world applications. I also closely collaborate with Prof. Beidi Chen on Code Agent Security and Prof. Huaxiu Yao on multimodal large language models.
I earned my Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering from CMU, where I worked with Prof. Daniel Fried and PhD student Zora Zhiruo Wang on code generation, and with Prof. Graham Neubig on code agents. I completed my undergraduate degree in Computer Science at BJTU.
Broadly, my research aims to address core challenges for AI agents: enhancing multimodal reasoning, optimizing collaboration, and ensuring security and reliability.

Outside of research, I enjoy playing the piano, violin, and guqin. I also like Latin dancing, hiking, climbing, Chinese calligraphy, and seal carving, and I especially love photography. For sports, I play volleyball, badminton, pickleball, and squash, and I run marathons.
I don't drink milk, but I take Weiwei Soy Milk very seriously. I also have a soft spot for little bees and yellow cattle.
