I am a PhD student at the College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University (浙江大学计算机学院).

I am now working on the Audio Research Team at Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Zhou Zhao (赵洲). My current research focuses on spatial audio generation based on multi-modal prompts.

I graduated from Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University (浙江大学竺可桢学院), with dual bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Automation.
I also worked as a visiting scholar at University of Massachusetts Amherst, collaborating with Prof. Przemyslaw Grabowicz.

My research interests primarily focus on Multi-Modal Generative AI, specifically in Singing and Music Synthesis, and Spatial Audio Generation. I have published first-author papers at top international AI conferences, including NeurIPS, AAAI, and EMNLP.

I am actively seeking postdoctoral positions and research collaborations. Please feel free to contact me via email at yuzhang34@zju.edu.cn.
