Shanyu Zhang
I am a second-year undergraduate student at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, majoring in Mathematics with Finance, and I am expected to complete my BSc degree at the University of Liverpool in 2028. Feel free to reach out — I’m happy to discuss with people from different backgrounds.
My research interests span machine learning and its applications in economics and quantitative finance. I am also broadly curious about AI itself — how large language models and AI coding assistants work, and what they make possible. In my spare time, I build small AI applications and use tools like Claude Code and Codex for vibe coding and rapid prototyping.
