Yuchen Zhu

Hi, I am Yuchen Zhu, a 3rd year Machine Learning PhD at Georgia Tech.

My interests lie in the broad aspects of GenAI. My research currently focuses on diffusion models and (multimodal) diffusion LLMs, and their efficient, effective post-training.

At Georgia Tech, I am fortunate to be advised by Molei Tao and Yongxin Chen, and working with a group of incredible researchers. Prior to that, I graduated with MA in Statistics from Yale University and BS in Honors Mathematics with highest honor from NYU Shanghai. During those time, I had the privilege to work with Zhuoran Yang and Mathieu Laurière on theory/numerics of RL and mean-field system.

During Spring 2026, I am a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe Research, working on post-training of dLLMs at scale.

You can find more details in my CV here.
