Guangtao Zheng

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at University of Virginia (UVA), advised by Prof. Aidong Zhang. Before joining UVA, I earned my Master’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and my Bachelor’s degree from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU).

My research in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning focuses on developing robust AI systems capable of generalizing to new and diverse environments. My research involves:

• Bias detection and mitigation
• AI alignment
• Meta-learning
• Multimodal learning

In addition to solving fundamental machine learning problems, I am also passionate about application-driven machine learning, leveraging techniques such as self-supervised learning and generative modeling to accelerate knowledge discovery in genomics.
