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, advised by Tianhao Wang, I will work on ML.

I got my Bachelor’s degree 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:

• Learning theory, especially feature learning and compression.
• Reinforcement Learning in all contexts, especially post-training of LLMs.
• Computational neuroscience, especially the relation between connectivity and activity.
• ML for science: time series forecasting and its applications in market prediction and climate science.
• Open source and build fun projects with ML.
