ZiXin Dong - Profile
Hello! I am Abigale (Zixin) Dong, currently a fourth-year
Computer Science student at ShanghaiTech University.

My academic journey has led me to focus on areas such as
large language models (LLMs), distributed systems, and infrastructures for large-scale machine learning.

In the fall of 2025, I plan to further my studies by pursuing a
master’s degree in Computer Science at both the
University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

I aspire to make the world a more vibrant place through technology.
