Chengsong Zhang 张诚松

I’m actively looking for a full-time job in both US and China (other countries / regions such as Japan and Europe are also good if you can sponsor Visa), or an oversea PhD opportunity. If you have an opening, please send me an email.

I am currently a second-year MSCS student in University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I expect to graduate in May 2025.

I got my BSE, CSE from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and BSE, ECE from UM-SJTU Joint Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I graduated from both in August 2023.

I am generally interested in visual generation. I am currently working on Systems for Diffusion Transformer (DiT). I am planning to completely move on to DiT related development and research. My advisor is Fan Lai.

Previously, I was a freelance contributor to open-source image / video generation community. My major contributions are Segment Anything and AnimateDiff extension for Stable Diffusion WebUI. I also contributed to some other systems based on advising. Such contributions mainly lie in database (AIDB & DuckDB) and federated learning systems (FedScale).

During my spare time, I enjoy anime and guitar fingerstyle. You can get a full list of all the TV anime series I watched from bangumi (CN). I also take buses, especially double-deck buses and rural buses. I occasionally feed butterflies, especially Kallima Inachus.
