BIOGRAPHY

Hi, I'm Zhenghao Xu 徐政豪. Currently, I am a graduate student at Department of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara. I used to work as a research assistant at Institute for Advanced Study, Tsinghua University. I received my B.S. in Mathematics from School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University, in July of 2019, major in Applied and Computational Mathematics, as well as minor in Chinese Language & Literature. I worked as game developer in the indie game group MINIBUGS in 2020.

My general research interests cover the interdisciplinary study of Applied Mathematics, Data Science and Astrophysics. Currently, I am working on three projects: (1). High-order Short Characteristic Ray-Tracing Radiation Transfer Simulations. (2) Deep Illustris Inferring Unobservable Structures of Galaxies via Deep Generative Networks (3). Using Unsupervised Deep Learning to disentangle physical properties in Dust-Gas coupled Accretion Diskes.

If you are interested in any problem that I'm working on or related, please contact me! I'm look forward to potential collaborators!
