About
Hello! I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in computer science at UT Austin. I am fortunate to be advised by Eunsol Choi. My primary research interests include machine learning and natural language processing.
Prior to UT, I received my undergraduate degree in computer science at the University of Washington, where I worked with Noah A. Smith. I also spent some time interning at Google Research (Summer 2022), Microsoft Research (Summer 2020), and Unbabel (Summer 2019).

*It has recently come to my attention that there a more than a few Michael Zhangs out there. As of 2021, I've decided to publish under the full name Michael J.Q. Zhang.
According to my father, I was named after three other MJs. In no particular order, they are Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, and Michael J. Fox.
