Jifan Zhang

I am a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at the University of Wisconsin. My research focuses on both applied and theoretical perspectives of Machine Learning. I am working on label and data efficient methods for training large language/vision models with Robert D. Nowak. Check out LabelTrain.ai for highlights of Label-Efficient Learning research.

I obtained my M.S. and B.S. degrees in computer science from the University of Washington. During that time, I have been fortunate to be advised by Kevin Jamieson, Lalit Jain, Tanner Schmidt, Dieter Fox and Zachary Tatlock.
