Hey there! I'm Tyler, a 1st-year PhD in CS at Princeton University advised by Olga Russakovsky. Broadly, my main interests are in machine learning, specifically in computer vision. Check out my research page for more! Previously I did my B.S. and M.S. at Berkeley, advised by Jitendra Malik and working with Karttikeya Mangalam.

While at Berkeley, I was heavily involved in both teaching and outreach, which were some of the most rewarding activities I pursued. I was a TA for CS 70 three times, once as a head TA, and a reader for CS 174 once, creating a mass of resources for students. I was also (and still am) very involved in Machine Learning @ Berkeley, a student organization dedicated to creating a vibrant machine learning community at Berkeley. I served on the leadership team multiple times, and was president during the Spring 2021 semester. I helped organize many research projects and connections, and mentored many students in the organization.

Aside from academics, I play guitar and basketball and love to watch sports (go Giants and Warriors), and I also enjoy music, food, and coffee to an unusual extent. If you're equally interested in any of the above, let's chat! My email is tylerzhu [at] cs [dot] princeton [dot] edu.

You can find some various things that I work on around my website. Below are my coursework and some course notes I've taken, as well as some teaching resources I've made over the years. There's also my personal blog, which I'll start writing in... one day. Here are some pointers to things I think you'll find interesting:

• My professional information, being my research website and my CV.
• My discussion sheets for CS 70 from Spring 2020, which are very popular among students. You can also find my evaluations here.
• My course notes for EECS 126 and EECS 127.
• My website for project 5 in CS 194-26, where I implemented a form of GCNet (from depth estimation) to do facial keypoint detection.
