Hello world! My name is Enhao Zhang. I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Washington, where I work in the UW Database Group. I'm advised by Magdalena Balazinska.

[Google Scholar]

In 2020, I obtained my Bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan in Computer Science, and UM-SJTU Joint Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Electrical & Computer Engineering.

My research interests are Database Systems and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). I am currently working on video data management systems. At UM, I worked with Michael Cafarella on video databases. Also, I had a great honor to be advised by Nikola Banovic at the Computational HCI Lab, where we worked on method to explore Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for image generation.
