Yizhuo (Matthew) Zhang

I am Yizhuo (Matthew) Zhang, a master student at University of Washington. I graduated from Tsinghua University. I am interested in LLM applications, especially on reasoning generalization. I also had research experience in quantitative finance, time-series forecasting and human-computer interaction.

I am actively looking for full-time opportunities as machine learning researcher/engineer and quantitative researcher starting August 2025.

Research

I'm interested in the following research areas:

• LLM/VLM Reasoning
• Human Computer/AI Interaction
• Time-series Forecasting and Applications

Performance evaluation and improvement of LLM graph reasoning generalization using supervised fine-tuning and DPO.

Lightweight deep learning architecture merely based on simple MLP-based structures, inspired by a crucial fact that down-sampling time series often preserves the majority of its information.

Redirection techniques decouple tracked physical motion and virtual motion, allowing users to explore virtual environments with more flexibility.

Velocity guided amplification approach for head rotation in VR headsets, enabling the amplification factor to be dynamically changed according to head rotation velocity, and keep it within the comfort range
