Zhihan Zhang

I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, advised by Prof. Vikram Iyer and Shwetak Patel. My research focuses on sustainable ubiquitous computing and health. My research has been published in top scientific journals (Nature Sustainability, Nature Communications), and premier CS venues (IMWUT, CHI), and covered extensively by media, including Nature, IEEE Spectrum. I have been recognized with the Clean Energy Institute Fellowship, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Young Researcher.

Prior to joining the Allen School, I did my M.S. in Quantitative & Computational Finance and received my B.S. in Computer Engineering with highest honors from Georgia Institute of Technology, where I was fortunate to work with Thad Starner and Gregory Abowd at Georgia Tech Ubicomp Lab.

Some of my other interests include traveling, reading, and soccer. I was named the city's best midfielder of the 2018 high school soccer season when I was an exchange student in Texas. When I was in middle school in China, we won the Zhejiang all-province middle school soccer championship in 2016, and I was elected to the all-province team of the season.
