Allen Z. Zhong is a Research Fellow in the Optimization Group within the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University. Allen obtained his Ph.D. from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Jimmy Lee. His research interests span the domains of model analysis and machine learning integration in optimization methodologies. His research focuses on exploring model analysis techniques to detect and exploit dominance in constraint optimization and satisfaction problems. Additionally, he is interested in the combination of machine learning and optimization algorithms. Through interdisciplinary approaches, he aims to develop robust and adaptive solutions capable of addressing real-world challenges across diverse domains.
