Honggen Zhang, Ph.D. Candidate

About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Currently, I am working with Dr.June Zhang, sponsored by the AI Institute in Dynamic Systems. I got my M.S. in mathematics at North China University of Technology in 2019. I have a broad interest in NLP problems such as LLM alignment and Knowledge graph. I am also working on AI4Science such as dynamic system, ECG data and mRNA sequence. Email:honggen@hawaii.edu
