Howdy! I'm Hangxiao Zhu, a Computer Science Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Texas A&M University, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yu Zhang. My research interests center on Agent System, Data Mining, and AI for Science. I earned my Master's degree from Washington University in St. Louis under the invaluable mentorship of Prof. Alvitta Ottley. Before that, I earned my Bachelor's degree from Ohio State University. I also gained research-intern experience with Prof. Ming Yin at Purdue University.
Outside of academics, I'm a huge fan of football and basketball, and I often visit r/OhioStateFootball, r/Lakers, and r/Texans.
