Zijian Huang 黄资鉴 I'm a second-year ECE PhD candidate at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, supervised by Prof. Jiasi Chen, and closely collaborates with Prof. Samet Oymak. Previously, I graduated from MSCS program in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, supervised by Prof. Bo Li. I received B.S. in CS and Math from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology with First Class Honors, supervised by Prof. Qifeng Chen. My hometown is the lovely city of Wuhan, China. My research interests are in machine learning, especially in the intersection of deep learning and optimization. I am particularly interested in building efficient and trustworthy machine learning systems, especially in the context of large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). I am currently looking for internship opportunities in Summer 2026. |
