About Me

Hi, I’m Haoshuai(Henry) Zhou. I’m currently the Algo and Research Audiology Team Lead at Orka and I hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Caltech. I’m passionate about using AI to solve real-world problems, and I’m also interested in using mathematical tools to explain AI.

Here, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on AI, and I hope you find them interesting!
