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

Bio

Update - Apr 15, 2025: I am now an incoming Data Science PhD student @UCSD starting this Fall.

Hi! I’m an undergraduate student majoring in mathematics, from the school of gifted young at USTC, my name is Zhi (志), you can simply call me Z. I’m honored to be supervised by Difan Zou (grokking @HKU.), Andrés R. Vindas Meléndez (algebraic combinatorics @Berkeley), and Quan Wen (neuroscience @USTC)!

Research Interests

I’m interested in using mathematics to unveil how artificial and biological computational systems learn and generalize.

• Learning theory, especially feature learning and compression.
• Reinforcement Learning
• Computational neuroscience, especially the relation between connectivity and activity.
• ML for science: time series forecasting and its applications in market prediction and climate science.

Publications
