Hi! I’m Haokun Zhao, a second-year M.S. student at UC San Diego, supervised by Prof. Zhuowen Tu. Prior to this, I received my B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jicong Fan. I also collaborated with Prof. Chenyu You from Stony Brook University.
My research interests broadly lie in LLMs, agents, and ML for health. I am particularly interested in developing intelligent, interpretable, and efficient AI systems for real-world scientific discovery.
I’m actively seeking Ph.D. opportunities for 2026 Fall in the US. If you find my background and research experience align with your interests, please feel free to contact me via email. I would be delighted to discuss potential opportunities. Please see my CV for more details.
