Zehua Cheng

I obtained by Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. During my Ph.D. studies, I was gernoursly funded by Google Cloud Computing Research Grant and Alibaba Cloud (UK) Research Fund.

Currently, I am leading AI research at FLock.io, where I focus on advancing decentralized machine learning systems. We will soon offically cooperate with Prof. Jim Davies from University of Oxford on Decentralized Machine Learning. I have several funded opportunities to support junior research positions at FLock.io and Oxford on related research topics.

If you are interested in working with me on decentralized machine learning systems, please feel free to contact me at zehua@flock.io.

My research interests including:

AI for Science.
Large-language Models.
Decentralized Machine Learning System.
Representation Learning Theory.
