Zikun Zhang

I am a second-year PhD student at Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, Columbia University. I am working with Prof. Wenpin Tang. Previously, I received a B.S. degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Fudan University in 2025.

My current research interests lie in the methodological and algorithmic foundations of generative modeling. I aim to leverage probability tools to advance diffusion-based generative models in both inference and post-training.
