Hi- I’m Boya Zeng. I am a Ph.D. student (2025-) in Computer Science at Princeton University, advised by Prof. Zhuang Liu. I am broadly interested in visual generative models. This summer, I’m interning at Apple AI/ML, working with Dr. Liang-Chieh Chen.

Previously, I received my B.A.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in Mathematics summa cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania (2021-2025), where I worked with Prof. Eric Eaton and Prof. Katia Sycara.

I’m always happy to connect! Please feel free to reach out by email.
