Zhuang Liu
[Pronouncing Zhuang]

I'm an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, advised by Trevor Darrell, and B.S. in Computer Science from Yao Class, Tsinghua University. Before joining Princeton, I worked as a Research Scientist at Meta FAIR, New York. I also worked as a research intern at Cornell, Intel, Adobe, and FAIR.

My research areas are deep learning and computer vision, with an emphasis on understanding how models work and behave. My work spans vision and language, unified by a focus on deep learning methods, representations, and architectures.

I explore simple approaches to gain empirical insights into neural networks. My research often challenges existing beliefs, e.g., in arch itectures, training, pruning, and data sets.

I led the development of DenseNet (CVPR Best Paper Award) and ConvNeXt.
