I am Zikun Li, a fist-year PhD student at Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University, and honorably advised by Prof. Zhihao Jia. My research interests are in Quantum Computing Systems, Reinforcement Learning and their intersection.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Peking University in 2021. At PKU, I am lucky to have worked with Prof. Tong Yang on designing algorithms in data stream mining.
