Biography

My name is Kaixin Zheng (郑开心), where my first name means happiness in Mandarin. I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, supervised by Professor Anita Layton.

Before joining Waterloo, I obtained an Honors Bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics (summa cum laude) from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Science, New York University in 2022, where I conducted undergraduate research with Professor David McLaughlin.

My main research interests lie in data-driven modeling and scientific computing for biological systems and dynamical systems.
