Zhixing Zhang

Ph.D. Candaidate

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

I am a software engineer at Google. Prior to this, I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers University, where I was advised by Prof. Dimitris N. Metaxas. I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at Kuaishou Technology before my Ph.D. studies. I received my B.Eng. in Materials Science and Engineering with a Minor in Computer Application from Tsinghua University in 2019.
