Yizhang ZHU
M.Phil. Student @ HKUST(GZ)-DIAL

👋Hi, welcome to my page!

I am an M.Phil. student in Data Science and Analytics, under the supervision of Prof. Yuyu LUO, at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). Prior to that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Chongqing University. My current research focuses on AI for data analytics, with the aim of democratizing data science. I am particularly interested in Natural Language to SQL and Automated Data Analysis.

As a beginner, I'm open to opportunities for communication and collaboration. Feel free to reach out!
