Iris Zhou

hi, i'm iris! i recently graduated as a double major in Computer Science + Astrophysics @ UC Berkeley 🧸 i'm interested in building cool things with machine learning + software engineering. i like learning new technologies, making knowledge accessible to all, and using computation to make a real-world impact!
previously, i built a RAG chatbot for server testing workflows @ AWS, taught data structures @ cs 61b, was president @ launchpad, conducted data analysis on Mercury's magnetosphere @ the Space Sciences Lab, and benchmarked NeRFs @ droppGroup.

⟢ what i'm up to:

✈️ traveling and eating my way through asia
💡 learning about operating systems, relativistic cosmology, & ml for astrophysics
🔎 looking forward to what's next !

⟢ some projects i've worked on:

🎧 lofi bytes

lofi beats generation through MusicTransformer

👾 neural worlds

tinkering with NeRF models to create a video game avatar

🫧 aura analyzer

seasonal color analysis + outfit generation through ML

☄️ asteroid mining

PCA to determine asteroid mining targets

🩺 HSA platform

health savings account simulation of qualified medical transactions

in my free time, i enjoy skiing, traveling, trying out new cafes, and reading!
