Neural Adaptive Computing (NAC) Lab. Department of Computer Science.
Hi there, my name is Zhizhuo Yang (杨智卓 in Chinese), aka George. I’m a PhD student and a multidisciplinary researcher majoring in computer science at RIT. My primary research areas are active inference and continual reinforcement learning. My advisor is Dr. Alexander G. Ororbia II at Rochester Insitiute of Technology. Previously, I worked on deep learning based eye tracking systems and generative modeling of coordinated eye and head movements. I’m also interested in computer vision and computer graphics.
I love playing and , listening to music, traveling and hiking in my free time. I learned to play and at a young age.

Apr 25, 2023 | Today, I passed my dissertation proposal defense and become a PhD candidate officially! 😃 It may feel trivial for some people, but it’s quite a milestone for me. One of the greatest minds once said “don’t forget to celebrate the small wins”. So I did by doing an intense workout in the gym that’s long overdue! This is the way.😎 |
Feb 17, 2023 | I’ll be joining Meta Reality Labs as a research scientist intern in mid-May this year! I’m going to work on the coolest projects on haptics in AR/VR using machien learning! |
Feb 3, 2023 | Our paper A Neural Active Inference Model of Perceptual-Motor Learning has been accepted at Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience! |
