Hongru Zhu
Short Bio
I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Prof. Alan Yuille.
Before coming to Johns Hopkins, I received my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China.
Research
I am interested in computer vision and computational models of human vision. In particular, my research focuses on exploring limitations of current AI visual algorithms in their robustness and flexibility.
I first developed interest in vision in Spring 2016, when I worked in Prof. Pawan Sinha's lab at MIT to explore how the brain analyzes degraded images with EEGs.
