Hi! I’m Zhi.

Here is my CV. (last updated: Dec 2, 2024)

I am a PhD student at UC San Diego advised by Tianhao Wang.

I am interested in reinforcement learning, context/memory, and continual learning, with the ultimate goal of building general and long-horizon agents. I also work on machine learning theory.

Publications

• Lee Eon, Andrés R. Vindas-Meléndez, and Zhi Wang. Generalized Snake Posets, Order Polytopes, and Lattice-Point Enumeration, 2024, submitted. arxiv:2411.18695. We derived the Ehrhart and h-star polynomials for the generalized snake posets, with closed-form formulae for the two extreme cases, and obtained a monotonicity result using a novel technique that bridges combinatorics and lattice polytopes, extending several previous results.
