Zhi (Mike) Li

BU ’22, BA. UCLA ’24, MS. UCLA ’27, PhD.,  AI Researcher and Software Engineer

I’m a PhD Student in Computer Science.
My interests include Al, Robotic, Software Engineering, and Cloud Computing. 

Skills

Python

Over the past four years, I've had extensive experience with Python in my research, classwork, and personal projects, with a greater span in music games, NLP Processing, Machine Learning predicting and stock market analysis.

Java

I have over six years of software development experience in Java, creating games, multi-threads software, company website backend, high concurrency object-oriented database, and managing industrialized controlling systems.

Machine Learning

I've worked on many projects involving machine learning including review polarity prediction in GAC Group, investing analysis for HongKong stock market, traceability of herbal medicines, image recognition with gesture analysis, and I am currently conducting audio research at Boston University.

JavaScript, HTML, CSS

With four years of experience from personal projects to team projects with BU Sustainability and EdLaw, I often develop full-stack applications consisting of HTML/JavaScript/CSS, various web libraries, and different kinds of backends including Node.js, MongoDB, flask.

Natural Language Processing

I've most of my research experience involving Chinese language analysis. I've worked on projects about product review analysis, keyword extraction, and transformation of words to own-designed space vectors in GAC Group that improves car manufacture process.

Server Management

With seven years of experience managing servers, I've had extensive experience from building and managing my private cloud, personal web/game server, company/school website to three-tier architecture gateway and cluster storage system with hierarchical centralized structure.

Distributed Computing

With two years of experience using Hadoop, I utilize and manage distributed high-performance computing machines to do Spark offline computing and simulation for both solid and fluid models to study aerodynamics, material structural validation, and space passing ability.

Virtual Environment

With four years of experience using Docker and Python Virtual Environments, most of my projects utilize virtual environments for consistency, stability, and reusability. Working for Qitian Intelligence and managing services, I always use virtual environments for reliability in industrial applications.
