Li Zhong

I am a Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at UC San Diego in 2024, advised by Professor Yuanyuan(YY) Zhou (She created the BEST EVENT APP Whova!).

Before that, I earned my bachelor’s degree from the Special Class for the Gifted Young at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2019, at the age of 19.

I'm interested in large language model, code generation, code analysis and agents.

I previously interned at Microsoft Research Asia (2018), Google (2021), Meta (2022) and Apple (2023, Apple Intelligence).
