Zhendong Chu (储振东)

I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Virginia, under the supervision of Prof. Hongning Wang. Prior to joining the UVa, I obtained my bachelor degree from the School of Computer Science at Fudan University, where I worked closely with Prof. Shanfeng Zhu and Prof. Yanghua Xiao.

My current research interests focus on LLM personalization (e.g., personalized fine-tuning and user profiling) and Multimodal Large Reasoning Models (Deepseek-R1-like models). Previously, I have conducted extensive research in areas including Conversational Recommendation Systems, Meta-Reinforcement Learning, Weakly-Supervised Learning, and other key topics in machine learning.
