Zihan Zhang | 章子涵

I'm Zihan Zhang, a third-year undergraduate student in the ACM Honors Class at Zhiyuan College , Shanghai Jiao Tong University (expected graduation: 2027). I am currently a research intern at the Emerging Parallel Computer Center (EPCC Lab) , advised by Prof. Jingwen Leng . My research interests lie in efficient machine learning, with a focus on model compression and quantization for large language models.
