Welcome to my personal website! I’m Haizhou Shi (史海舟), a second-year Ph.D. student in the CS Department at Rutgers University, working under the guidance of Prof. Hao Wang. My research centers on enhancing machine learning models’ generalization abilities, enabling them to adapt quickly to evolving learning tasks and data distributions.

Previous to that, I earned my M.S. and B.S. degrees from the CS Department at Zhejiang University in 2022 and 2019, under the supervision of Prof. Siliang Tang and Yueting Zhuang. During that time, my focus was on developing generalizable representations in various scenarios, including unsupervised, weakly-supervised, federated, and continual learning.
