Lecturer Intro
Dr. Zhang received his bachelor's, master's, and doctor's degrees from Zhejiang University, Peking University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently a professor at the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications, in the artificial intelligence and machine learning research group. He is currently interested in developing machine learning algorithms driven by both data and existing domain knowledge, and applying them to the interpretation and quantification of various physical, biological and social phenomena.
