Mengyu Zhao
PhD student @ Rutgers University

Hi, I am Mengyu Zhao, a third-year PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Rutgers University. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shirin Jalali.
My research interests primarily focus on Inverse Problems, Image and Video Compression and Reconstruction, LLM, etc.
Before my PhD, I got Master’s in Statistics at Rutgers University and Bachelor’s degree from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU), advised by Prof. Xiaohu Yang.
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. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing tennis and hiking.
I will be joining Bloomberg for student internship during summer 2025.
