Xianrui Zhong

I am a first-year Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Hao Peng and Prof. Jiawei Han.

I received my B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science as a James Scholar from UIUC. I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a recipient of Honorable Mention of the 2024 CRA Outstanding Undergrad Researcher Award.

In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano and the guitar, swimming, climbing, and playing video games (I am a big fan of the Legend of Zelda).
