Zhouyang "Hanson" Lu
I study machine learning and computational neuroscience.
Recently, I have been interested in parallelizing non-linear dynamical systems and embodied agents.
About.
I'm a second-year PhD student at Brown University in the School of Engineering and the Carney Institute for Brain Science, working with Leo Kozachkov. Previously I graduated from Tsinghua University with a degree in Physics and Math and a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
Some things I think about:
- Parallel-in-time training of ML algorithms
- Embodied agents for Computational neuroscience
Some things I like: Photography, climbing, biking, hiking (and really all kinds of sports).
Selected publications.
In prep.
