Research & Achievements

Zhengde Zhang developed the high-throughput VASP computing aid program VaspCZ to improve efficiency. He designed and implemented real-time robust neural network CDNet for complex weather conditions, FINet and TLDNet for small samples and extremely low-resolution conditions, respectively. He proposed a new AI algorithm driven by knowledge and data collaboration based on quantum wave functions and preliminarily validated in dense occlusion scenarios. He is developing ChatHEP, a fine-tuned large language model in the field of high-energy physics.


He has published more than ten papers in important academic journals both domestically and internationally, including Neural Compute Appl, IEEE T Instrument Meas, Nano Research, Comp Mate Sci, etc. He has opened up four projects on Github and racked up nearly 300 stars. Three related patents and one software copyright have been approved, and one technical achievement transfer has been completed.
