About

David Zhang  张博诚

I care about loving God and people.

Undergraduate student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, studying Computer Science and Physics.

I'm currently an independent researcher in reinforcement learning and 3D vision for LLMs. I want to build smart, autonomous, tool-using agents.

Previously, I worked with Professor Jiaxuan You on multi-agent reinforcement learning.

Last year, I collaborated with the NVIDIA math reasoning team through Dr. Branislav Kisacanin, where I designed the math olympiad dataset for our published study. For two years in high school I worked with the QMCPy team, advised by Professor Fred Hickernell and designed many randomization techniques.

Selected as a Young Researcher for the 2025 Heidelberg Laureate Forum. Had meaningful conversations with Richard Sutton, David Silver, Pat Hanrahan, Sanjeev Arora, Ngo Bao Chau, Jack Dongarra, Bob Tarjan and many more.
