Zilai Zeng

Hi! I'm a Ph.D. student at Brown University advised by the wonderful Prof. Chen Sun. My research focuses on representation learning and generative modeling for decision making. I have also spent time as a research intern at ByteDance Seed.

Previously, I obtained my Master's degree from Brown University, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Chen Sun and Prof. Ellie Pavlick. Before that, I received my B.E. in computer science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
