Update:
In March 2023, Lu Zhou joined Gloco.ai and is working as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer. He is working on building AI agents to support customer inquiries with LLMs and RAG.
In February 2022, Lu Zhou joined TigerGraph, Inc and is working as a Machine Learning Engineer. He was working on modelling knowlege graphs and prototyping graph based machine learning models for customers.
Lu Zhou was a Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Semantics Laboratory at Kansas State University. He was working with Dr. Pascal Hitzler on the topic of Knowledge Graphs Construction, Semantic Data Integration, and Deep Deductive Reasoning. More specifically, Knowledge Graph Construction and Enrichment, Ontology Matching and Alignment, Entity Linking, Coreference Resolution, Natural Language Processing, Applied Machine Learning, and Neural-Symbolic Integration.
