Top School

Zian Zheng is an AI-focused software engineer and MMath student at the University of Waterloo with six years of experience building large-scale NLP systems, including pre-training Chinese LLMs and designing data-centric pipelines at an HPC-AI research lab. He brings hands-on expertise in Chinese tokenization, length extrapolation for LLMs, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation, blending research rigor from NUS and a top-ranked BE in Data Science with practical engineering. Based in Canada, he favors improving dataset quality and tooling to make model training more robust and scalable. Outside of work he pursues high-adrenaline outdoor sports—skydiving, scuba/free diving, climbing, and kayaking—which inform a risk-tolerant, experimental approach to problem solving.
