Zhaobin Mo - 莫钊镔

I am currently a final-year Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering at Columbia University advised by Prof. Xuan Di (Ditect Lab). I was recognized as a President Fellow and Mindlin Scholar at CU. Before joining CU, I received a B.E. from Tsinghua University in 2017.

My research focuses on physics-informed deep learning that facilitates the integration of domain knowledge and deep learning models. I am passionate about exploring how prior knowledge can foster safe, robust, and explainable AI. I have also worked on other topics like reinforcement learning, graph neural networks, and probabilistic graphical models.
