Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuwei Zhang is a PhD student at UC San Diego with eight years of research experience at the intersection of machine learning and applied sciences, currently focused on LLM research. With a background in physics (BSc) and a master’s in Machine Learning and Data Science, she has applied deep learning to diverse domains including medical microscopy, chemical sentence encoding, and few-shot intent detection for task-oriented dialogue. Her trajectory includes internships and RA roles at institutions like Brown University, NRC Canada, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, reflecting a strong experimental and interdisciplinary approach. Comfortable in Python and ML algorithm development, she blends theoretical insight with practical coding to prototype and evaluate models. Notably, her work spans both foundational modeling (oscillators, LSTMs) and real-world NLP problems, signaling an ability to move between theory and application. Based in San Diego, she brings a research-driven mindset aimed at advancing scalable, data-driven language models.
