Anna (Ziyuan) Zhao

Student at Northwestern University

I'm a student at Northwestern University majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I'm currently a research assistant at the Northwestern Machine Learning and Language Lab and interning as a full-stack/backend engineer at Innovation AI.

My academic interests span from the intersection of artificial intelligence and linguistics to financial modeling and quantitative trading strategies. I'm especially drawn to the complex systems that can be modeled with precision yet still be shaped by human inputs, whether through speech patterns or market dynamics.
