Zijie Huang (黄子倢)

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof.Yizhou Sun and Prof.Wei Wang. My research interest lies in generative AI, AI4Science, machine learning in general, with a special focus on dynamical system modeling, knowledge graph reasoning, LLMs and diffusion models. My Ph.D. research was generously supported by Amazon Ph.D. Fellowship. I was selected as EECS rising star 2023.

Before UCLA, I received my bachelor's degree of Information Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I love piano, badminton and traveling.
