Chengsong Zhang 张诚松

If you are interested in hiring me, please feel free to 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 visual generation. 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. My major contributions 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 the anime I watched from bangumi (in Chinese). I also take buses, especially double-deck buses and rural buses. I occasionally feed butterflies, especially Kallima Inachus.
