Ian (Guanglei) Zhu

I am a Master of Computer Vision student at Carnegie Mellon University. My passion lies in addressing real-world challenges through Machine Learning and Computer Vision. I'm actively seeking summer intern roles for 2024!

Before this, I had the privilege of interning at the Vector Institute under the mentorship of Prof. Animesh Garg. I finished my undergraduate study in Computer Science at University of Toronto.
