Shanghai, China

I am an incoming MSCS student at Georgia Tech. I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from NYU Shanghai in 2026, with a minor in Interactive Media Arts.

My research interest lies in advancing Diffusion-based Language Models, aiming to match the generation quality of leading Autoregressive methods. Beyond this, I am also interested in building World Models for autonomous vehicles to enhance their decision-making capabilities in complex driving scenarios.

I’m currently advised by Professor Shengjie Wang and Hongyi Wen on advancing Continuous Diffusion Language Model design. If you are interested in our work or want to contact me, feel free to send a mail to jz5770@nyu.edu.
