About

Researcher in formulation.
Engineer in practice.

I am Zinuo (Henry) You, a Computer Science PhD candidate at the University of Bristol. I lead modelling research and implementation across UKRI-funded projects spanning generative video, efficient inference, continuous-time models, and evidence-constrained AI systems.

How I work

Across the whole
research system.

My projects typically begin with a modelling question—how a causal video model drifts, where a low-step ODE sampler should spend its evaluations, or how irregular time gaps should enter a latent trajectory. I then build the evaluation and software contracts needed to test the idea without blurring method, data, and protocol.

That means working from derivation and experimental design through PyTorch implementation, multi-GPU training, Slurm/HPC workflows, programmatic evaluation, and release-quality Python packages. I care about negative results, limitations, and strict failure modes because they make research easier to trust and extend.
