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. I am building Scalable Trustworthy AI System.

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 University of Oxford on related research topics. Previously, I was holding Lectureship at Mathematical Institute.

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.
