Xinlun Cheng is a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Data Science. He is currently working in professor Stephen Baek's Visual Intelligence Lab on developing new algorithm and training strategies in physics-informed machine learning (PIML), especially for improving Physics-aware Recurrent Convolutional neural networks (PARCv2).
Prior to becoming a postdoc in 2024, Cheng had been involved in research in Baek's lab for two years and worked on development of PARCv2, application of PARCv2 on various computational fluid dynamics problems, and comparison with other PIML models. He was also involved in data mining large sky survey databases with the UVA Department of Astronomy.
Cheng holds a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Virginia. He also holds a B.S. in physics from Tsinghua University and a M.S. in data science from UVA.
