My name is Liao Zhu, and I am a fourth-year Mathematics and Computer Science double major at the University of Iowa. As an undergraduate researcher in the Computational Epidemiology Lab, I am currently focused on studying implicit graph neural networks and subgraphs. This summer, I will be conducting research at Columbia University, joining the WIM Net Lab to focus on wireless, mobile, and resilient networks. Personal Life ====== I have several side hobbies that I enjoy when I’m not learning. This includes a variety of sports (soccer, weight-lifting, and more recently pickleball), video recording / editing, and piano. I enjoy listening to K-pop, hip-hop, and lofi, though I’m a big believer that music is good if it sounds good.
