Dun Zeng (曾趸)

Hi there! I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). I am very fortunately supervised by Prof. Zenglin Xu. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Ocean University of China (OUC) in 2020.

My research interests primarily focus on (Distributed) Optimization and Generalization of (non-convex) machine learning problems (Yes, neural networks). I work on solving the challenge of conflicting optimization objectives in machine learning models, improving the efficiency of data application in human society. My Ph.D projects focused on designing, analyzing, and evaluating federated optimization algorithms, considering communication and heterogeneity to achieve a high generalization model in federated learning. Recently, I turned to studying the Large Language Models alignment, particularly interested in the RLHF framework and reward models.

I am pursuing academic collaborations, particularly in the field of distributed optimization and LLMs. Please feel free to reach out!
