Hi, I’m Haolan, a master student at Yale University and currently working as a research assistant at Yale Computer Science under the supervision of Prof. Rex Ying, working on graphs and fact checking (NLP).

Prior to Yale, I received my bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science and Financial Engineering from Sichuan University China, where I did projects and research in computer vision, computational finance.

I am actively seeking entry-level positions as a Software Engineer,ML Engineer or Financial Quant Developer.

Several of my projects are listed in the Portfolio section.

Please feel free to reach out to me via email: haolan.zuo [at] gmail [dot] com or LinkedIn.
