Zhengyuan Zhou
| I obtained my Ph.D. in the Information System Laboratory
in Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University in summer 2019. I am advised by Professor Nick Bambos and Professor Peter Glynn . My research interests lie in applying methodological tools from machine learning, applied probability, game theory
and stochastic optimization to solve data-driven decision making problems at large.
I am funded by a Stanford
Graduate Fellowship (SGF) in Science and Engineering.
I completed my undergraduate degrees (EECS and Math) at UC Berkeley. At Berkeley, I worked with Professor Claire Tomlin on control and optimization.
Over the years, I have also been very fortunate to collaborate with many amazing people.
This is my Google Scholar page. I am also an organizer of the department seminar
ISL colloqium.
During the year 2019-2020, I am an IBM Goldstine Fellow (and gratefully acknowledge IBM Research's Goldstine fellowship support) and a visiting assistant professor at NYU Stern School of Business. I will officially start teaching as an assistant professor at NYU Stern in Fall 2020 (this website will move soon).
