Jiajun Zhu
My Chinese name is "祝家俊".
You can call me Jun for short.
I am currently a PhD student at University of Texas at Austin, advised by Atlas Wang and Aditya Akella and working closely with Pan Li at Gatech. I previously graduated from Zhejiang University with a major in Math and a minor in Entrepreneurship. I have been architecting language models and agents. Broadly, my research focuses on efficient intelligence and the fundamentals of agents. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to collaborate or chat.

In addition to my academic interest in AI, I am fascinated by other cutting-edge technologies such as brain-computer interfaces and blockchains. I also enjoy reading biographies, learning from people I admire—especially entrepreneurs—and thinking about how to contribute meaningfully to society. My role models include Charlie Munger for his wisdom, Stephen Curry for his grit, Li Jian (李健) for his serenity, as well as many of my kind and intelligent peers.
