Ray Zirui Zhang

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).

Before this role, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Irvine, mentored by John Lowengrub. I obtained my Ph.D. at UC San Diego, advised by Li-Tien Cheng, co-advised by Bo Li. Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Hong Kong.

My research interests lie in scientific machine learning and numerical analysis, with applications in biophysics and cancer research.
