Hi! I am a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I'm very lucky to be advised by Professor Nicholas Boffi.

My research is on generative modeling, where I have lately been focusing on diffusion and flow-based models, particularly building efficient and controllable models in vision and language. In general, I am interested in understanding reasoning in generative models, representations, and multimodal intelligence. I also like to think about creativity in generative models and how humans interface with AI, e.g., via agent harnesses and workflows.

Previously, I received my B.S. at Caltech, where I researched quantum computing and online algorithms under the mentorship of Profs. John Preskill, Hsin-Yuan Huang, Adam Wierman, and Nicolas Christianson.

Outside my PhD, I can be found playing tennis, watching my agents go brrrr, or attempting new hobbies. Recently, I learned some photography, guitar, and dance.

I'm happy to chat about research, potential collaborations, or advice on doing a PhD / getting into AI research. Feel free to reach me at jerryhua [at] andrew [dot] cmu [dot] edu.
