Tansheng Zhu 朱坦晟

I am a final-year undergraduate at Zhiyuan College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, majoring in mathematics with a minor in finance. In Fall 2025, I will join the Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences at Tsinghua University as a Ph.D. student, advised by Prof. Jian Li.

At Shanghai Jiao Tong University, I am honored to pursue my undergraduate thesis research under the mentorship of Prof. Zhenli Xu. During my exchange at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, I was fortunate to join Prof. Fenglei Fan's research group as an intern and continued as a research assistant in the following summer.

My research interests lie in {machine learning theory, optimization, and high-dimensional probability}.

Under the guidance of Prof. Zhenli Xu, I am currently researching efficient algorithms for Bayesian optimization and reinforcement learning. Also, under the supervision of Prof. Fenglei Fan, I am investigating the properties of finitely wide neural networks as their depth approaches infinity, with the aim of uncovering the duality between width and depth.
