Undergraduate @Umich @SJTU @ SLED

Here is Xuejun Zhang.

I am a senior majoring Electrical and Computer Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Data Science at University of Michigan. I am an undergraduate research assistant in SLED Research Lab advised by professor Joyce Chai.

My research is driven by a deep curiosity to explore intelligence, mainly focusing on natural language processing (NLP) and multimodal learning. Currently, I am particularly interested in:

  1. Alignment between Modalities: Investigating methods to achieve precise alignment across different modalities, bridging the inherent differences in modality-specific feature spaces.

  2. Mechanistic Understanding of Models: Analyzing the internal workings of machine learning models to enhance their interpretability and reliability.

  3. Inference Time Learning: Exploring techniques like in-context learning, one-shot, and few-shot learning to understand and improve model performance across varied tasks.

I’m actively seeking a PhD position starting in Fall 2025!
