I am a fourth-year CS Ph.D. student at Stanford University. I am a member of Stanford Pervasive Parallelism Lab and LMCache. My advisor is Kunle Olukotun. I have also been working with James Zou, Junchen Jiang, and Muhammad Shahbaz. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago.

I build AI systems that continuously learn from experience and improve over time, e.g., Caravan, ACE. My current focus is context learning, a new paradigm where long context serves as a mechanism for test-time learning and memory, enabling adaptation beyond what is stored in model parameters.

The pronunciation of my first name (Qizheng) is very close to that of “keygen” in public key encryption. I also go by Alex.
