Senior🎓
Top SchoolMengyan Zhang is a machine learning researcher and lecturer (Assistant Professor) with eight years’ experience bridging academic research and practical systems in bandits and contextual decision-making. After a PhD focused on statistical machine learning at ANU and a postdoc at the University of Oxford, she worked on deep contextual bandits for news recommendation during a Microsoft research internship before joining the University of Bristol faculty. Her work spans theory and applied ML, with a particular strength in bandit algorithms that scale to real-world recommendation problems. Based in Oxford, she combines rigorous academic training with hands-on experimentation, mentoring students and teaching statistical ML along the way. An understated but valuable trait is her track record of moving ideas from tutoring and research prototypes into industry collaborations.
