Jinda Zhang

Hi there👋, I’m pursuing graduate studies, co-advised by Prof. Aanchan Mohan at SLangLab and Prof. Yvonne Coady at MOD Squad.

I was Research Assistant advised by Prof. Mirjana Prpa, integrating large language models (LLMs) into AI avatars and social VR environments. I was Research Assistant during Khoury Research Apprenticeship in Vision Lab.

On the leadership side, I’ve mentored research teams and led weekly check-in meetings for Research Capstone Projects.

Exploring Seasonal Patterns in Wildfire Features for Enhanced Prediction
Paper / Code

This study uses machine learning and deep learning to analyze seasonal variations in wildfire prediction, focusing on key features such as temperature, wind speed, and NDVI.

Misc

When I am not coding or reading papers, I enjoy math competition puzzles, reading, and playing chess.
