Biography
Dr. Xiaochi Zhou is a postdoctoral researcher in the CoMo group at the University of Cambridge. He received his PhD from the same group, following earlier studies in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (B.Eng., 2016). From 2016 to 2019, he worked as a software engineer at the Cambridge Centre for Advanced Research and Education in Singapore (CARES), focusing on the development of the J-Park Simulator. His current research interests include large language models (LLMs), advanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multi-agent systems, and AI for science.Research Themes
