Facing upwards to the blue sky, we behold the vast immensity of the universe; when bowing our heads towards the ground, we again satisfy ourselves with the diversity of species.😌

仰观宇宙之大，俯察品类之盛

My name is دىلشات مۇختار in Uyghur (Dilxat Muhtar in Latin, Dilixiati Muhataer in Chinese). I am Uyghur and was born in the beautiful city of Aksu, Xinjiang.

I received my M.S. and B.S. degrees under the guidance of Dr. Xueliang Zhang and Prof. Pengfeng Xiao from Nanjing University. I am currently an intern with the ROLL Team at Alibaba. Previously, I was a research intern at Microsoft, where I collaborated with Dr. Yaming Yang, Dr. Yelong Shen, and Dr. Xiaodong Liu.

My research focuses on developing systems that learn and understand the world in ways analogous to human cognition—learning from raw environments, through self-improvement, and with high efficiency. I am particularly interested in work that combines algorithm and infrastructure co-design.

Some Fun Facts

• I love travelling and literature—experiencing both the beauty and wonders of nature, as well as the wisdom of humanity. My favourite city is Prague and my favourite book is 《Jerusalem: The Biography》.
• I also love music and boxing, both of which provide me with a sense of relief and help me unwind.
• My favorite food is pumpkin 🎃.

I am more than willing to talk to different people about academics and life, so please don’t hesitate to send me an email if you would like to chat with me.
