About Me

Hi, I’m Hongzhang “Steve” Shao, a researcher who works with data and mathematical models. Currently, I’m a PhD candidate at the Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Professor Anton J. Kleywegt. You can read my Curriculum Vitae for more information.

When I’m not coding, I read and write to stay mindful.

Science is like sex. Enjoy it in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible. Sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.
