Zehua Cheng

I obtained by Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. We are hiring research interns and looking for academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at zehuac@ieee.org.

We build autonomous agents that reason over distributed, high-stakes data (Bio & Finance) without ever centralizing it. We replace trust with cryptography and replace correlation with causal/structural reasoning. For more details, please refer to my WORKING PROJECTS.

Currently, I am leading AI research at FLock.io, where I focus on advancing decentralized ML systems. I am now cooperate with Prof. Jim Davies and Prof Ivan Martinovic 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.
