- Advised by Prof. Zhiyuan Ma at the School of Computer Science and Technology.
- Researching improved RL post-training technics and diffusion models.
- Co-authored I2E for agentic image editing and TMPO for novel diffusion RL.
Hiπ, I'm Chenyu Zhu, a 2027 fall undergraduate at Huazhong University of Science and Technology and currently a member of MAIR Lab. I build models and agentic tools that continually learn and recursively improve their own capabilities. My research spans foundation model post-training, diffusion models, and AI agents. You can find my work in publications, read my thoughts on the blog, find me on GitHub, or reach me by email.

I explore continual learning and recursive self-improvement in foundation models and AI agents, spanning post-training, diffusion models, and adaptive agentic systems.
I am seeking research collaborations and internship opportunities in Agentic AI and Foundation model training. If you have a collaboration or internship opportunity, feel free to email me.
