Be Better

I am Zhenyuan Zhang, a Ph.D. student in AIS at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Yike Guo and Prof. Wei Xue. Before joining HKUST, I was a Ph.D. student (Direct Entry) in Computer Science and Technology at Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST), supervised by Prof. Jianfeng Lu. I received my B.Eng. in Software Engineering from NJUST in 2021.

My research interests center on Agent Memory and Embodied AI, including memory-augmented agents, motion generation, and VLA.
