Mengyu Zhao

PhD student @ Rutgers University

Hi, I am Mengyu Zhao, a PhD student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Rutgers University where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shirin Jalali.

Some research topics I am excited include:

  • Visual Restoration using image priors
  • Agents for LLM and Multimodal LLM

Before starting my PhD, I got BE from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) and MS from Rutgers University.

I am always open to discussions and collaborations—please feel free to reach out! This semester, I am organizing a reading group focusing on deep learning and inverse problems.

I will be joining Bloomberg for research internship during summer 2025.
