👨‍🎓 About Me

I am Zihan Wang, deeply engaged in the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning at McGill University and Mila-Quebec AI Institute. With a strong foundation in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Alberta, and a Minor in Mathematics, I am now pursuing an M.Sc., focusing on leveraging AI to address complex, real-world challenges.

🚀 Research and Professional Background

My academic and professional journey encompasses a variety of projects, where I have explored machine learning, deep learning, and their applications in practical settings:

• Disease Detection Using ECG Data: Contributed to a team at the Canadian Vigour Centre and the University of Alberta, developing a sophisticated disease detection system in collaboration with medical institutions.
• Causal Inference in Machine Learning: During my time at Carnegie Mellon University, I conducted innovative research on counterfactual prediction, overcoming statistical challenges through advanced deep learning techniques.
• 3D Human Pose Estimation: Led a project at the University of Alberta that set new standards for real-time video analysis, driving advancements in interactive technologies.

🌱 Current Projects and Interests

At the core of my research is Continual Learning, where I am actively involved in a pioneering project on anomaly detection. This project is co-supervised by Dr. Narges Armanfard and Dr. Samira Ebrahimi Kahou and highlights the crucial role AI can play in adapting and evolving within ever-changing environments.
