Zhaoji's Zhang Homepage

About me

It is my pleasure to meet you here. I am Zhaoji Zhang(张 兆骥 in Simplified Chinese), a graduate student from Peking University. After 4 years hardwork at Peking University, I earned 2 Bachelor of Science on Chemical Biology and Intelligence Science and Technology(also known as AI). I am going to the Center of Life Science(CLS)@PKU-THU to persue my PhD in Integrated Life Science after 1st Sept 2025. Hope we would have a great time there.

My curiosity about Neuroscience, especially circuit, computation, and system neuroscience, has led me to be an intern at Yatang-Li’s Lab at the Chinese Institute for Brain Research, Beijing (CIBR, Beijing).

My undergraduate_academic transcript is available for a deeper look into my academic journey, and you can find my research profile on ORCID.

If you want to contact me, recently pleaseDO NOT EVEN TRY to send emails to my former student email because they are going to expire very soon. Please send emails directly to my personal email address: zhang_zhaoji@foxmail.com (usually I would check it once per week or month, but not ensured) for regular communication.

Research Interests

• Neuroscience: Saliency Detection & Perception, Visual Encoding&Decoding, BMI/BCI,
• Computer Vision: Saliency Detection, Video Saliency Detection, segmentation. One of the funniest problem is to train model to do new jobs like segment octopus and do pose estimations(which is quite complex due to its flexibility).
• Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning: It is very cool to discover how herd and octopus behave. How do they perform such complex behaviors through very simple computaion techniques, just like our brain, ANN, and superconductivity?
• Recently I have learned some basic electronic skills including Arduino, Soldering and PCB. Maybe I would put them into use in our lab in the future. Molecular Biology (also organic chemistry) experiments are always boring, time consuming and Programmatic for human experimenters. What if we do a little coding here?

News

• I just graduate from Peking Univ at 02/07/2025. Currently I am still continuing research at CIBR. Maybe after August I would have more personal time to travel around the world(or just in china).
• We have published our research about Saliency Detection in mouse Superior Colliculus(SC) Recently on Communications Biology in the name of Preference-independent saliency map in the mouse superior colliculus. I would say it is a underrated decision because saliency detection is such an important problem and mouse SC may give us a alternative way to think about it, in another way besides triditional Zhaoping’s V1 Saliency hypothesis.
