Xuanru Zhou

I'm a senior undergraduate at Zhejiang University. I'm working with Prof. Gopala Krishna Anumanchipalli and PhD Jiachen Lian at Berkeley Speech Group.

I'm actively seeking Intern, RA or visiting positions. If you are interested in my research, feel free to reach out to me!

Research

Generally, I'm interested in human-centric theories and methodologies for AI speech and language learning.

I'm also interested in general audio & speech understanding.

My previous research mainly focus on speech and language technology in healthcare.

Under construction, coming soon.

Trivia

My favorite artist is Lady Gaga, go support her new album MAYHEM! I'm also fan of Kpop music.

Before I went to middle school, I was a member of the city swimming team.

I enjoy playing with dogs and cats.
