Zhenqiao Song 「宋珍巧」

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Language Technology Institute (LTI) at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Lei Li. Before that, I had been a full-time research scientist at ByteDance AI-Lab MLNLC group for two years, advised by Prof. Hao Zhou. I received my master's degree from Fudan University (FDU). During this period, I worked as a student researcher advised by Prof. Xiaoqing Zheng in Fudan University Natural Language Processing Group.

Research Topics

My research interests lie in developing machine learning methods in scientific domains such as bilogy and chemistry. Currently, I mainly focus on developing generative algorithms for protein design. I'm also interested in multilingual learning in NLP, including but not limited to multilingual machine translation and multilingual text generation.
