Yuchen Zhu 朱雨宸

Hi, I am Yuchen Zhu, a 3rd year Machine Learning PhD at Georgia Tech, advised by Molei Tao and Yongxin Chen.

I work on generative AI. My current research centers on building the next generation of LLMs with greater efficiency and capability, through the development of diffusion language models (dLLM). I also work on diffusion models and their multimodal variants for vision and language.

During Summer 2026, I am a Research Scientist Intern at NVIDIA, exploring efficient frontier LLMs.

During Spring 2026, I was fortunate to work with Jiuxiang Gu and Jing Shi as a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe Research, building efficient & capable dLLMs at scale.

I graduated with BS in Mathematics (Honors) from NYU Shanghai and MA in Statistics from Yale University. My research started in applied mathematics, optimal control and RL theory, and has since evolved toward generative AI.

You can find more details in my CV here.
