I am Yu Zhang (张彧). Now, I am a Research Scientist at ByteDance. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at aaron9834@icloud.com.

I earned my PhD in the College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University (浙江大学计算机科学与技术学院), under the supervision of Prof. Zhou Zhao (赵洲). Previously, 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 have also served as a visiting scholar at University of Rochester with Prof. Zhiyao Duan and University of Massachusetts Amherst with Prof. Przemyslaw Grabowicz.

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