Tony Zhang

Machine Learning Research Lead at Google X for project in AI for biodiversity. My team develops novel AI models and algorithms for solving a range of problems, including sensing, behavior prediction, and optimal control. We collaborate with leading academic labs. Caltech PhD in Neural Computation with theoretical and applied knowledge in deep learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning, learning theory, behavioral models. My PhD work focused on sequential decision-making in brains and machines. This involved topics spanning AI and naturalistic learning, including computer vision, machine learning / reinforcement learning, theoretical neuroscience, and behavior modeling and prediction. Previously worked in public policy and startups through global experiences in academia, industry, and international organizations.
