Weichao Zhou

I am a Postdoc at MIT.  My research interests span reinforcement learning (RL) and formal methods. My research has focused on incorporating data-driven methods into safety-critical autonomous systems. I have also worked on robustness analysis of neural network control systems, backdoor attack detection in neural networks across various applications, including computer vision and reinforcement learning, and building robust information retrieval systems using large language models (LLMs).

Here is my research statement.
