Zihan (Lexie) Zhou   周子涵

I am Zihan, a MSCS student at University of California San Diego. In 2025 summer, I worked as an machine learning engineer intern at PayPal. Previously, I also worked as a research assistant under the supervision of Prof. Tianyi Zhang and Prof. Chuan Wu. During my undergraduate studies, I also had the opportunity to participate exchange programs at UC Berkeley in 2023 and TUM in 2024.

I am broadly interested in LLM Reasoning, Agentic AI, and Software Development. In addition, I love traveling and photography. I have visited 20+ countries and regions.

I’m looking for 2026 SWE/MLE internship opportunities. Feel free to contact me if you have any relevant opportunities or suggestions.
