Chunhui Zhang

Greetings! I am Chunhui Zhang (pronounced as Ch'un-hui Chang/张春晖), a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Dartmouth🌲, fortunately working with 🌟Professor Soroush Vosoughi.

I earned my MSCS degree and was honored with the GSAS Fellowship at Brandeis University. My research journey began at Northeastern University, where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in CS and received the Outstanding Honor Thesis Award.

Research

I am passionate about understanding the cognitive rationale behind deep learning's evolution, and then scaling it (in both training and testing) to expand intelligence. My previous research explores the training principles of deep learning across diverse modalities, steering them toward prosocial and stable behaviors.

[Sep 20, 2024] Papers are accepted to EMNLP 2024. Thanks to my excellent collaborators and see you in Miami!

[Sep 7, 2024] Completed my summer internship at the Honda Research Institute in San Jose, CA. I am grateful for the collaborative experience with Dr. Shao-Yuan Lo and happy to have met great friends in the Bay Area.

To all students/friends

Feel free to drop me an email if you're up for a laid-back chat about life, career, or research. I'm dedicating (at-least) 30 minutes each week for these discussions, and I'm particularly eager to connect with students from underrepresented backgrounds or those dealing with challenges or inequity. Just reach out – I'm here to listen!


Fun Stuff

Racing - a happy part of my life. I particularly enjoy go-karting and circuit racing (some fun facts: 1st and 2nd place at Supercharged). But there is one type of racing that I have yet to try - my favorite rally driving (My favorite rally driver is Han Han).
