Han Liu is a Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of experience building ML systems that bridge research and product-ready AI applications. With a CS PhD from the University of Chicago and time at Chicago HAI, Han has advanced preference finetuning for LLMs, improved vision-language alignment through human-centered studies, and developed clinically validated models for prostate cancer detection. Their work spans academic and industry settings—including a research internship at Microsoft—where they benchmarked code generation and proposed more human-aligned evaluation metrics. Based in Chicago, Han combines rigorous experimental research with practical deployment at EvenUp, and is particularly skilled at designing human-AI collaboration studies that reveal when and how practitioners under- or over-rely on model outputs.
