## For recruiters and hiring managers

- Open to being asked about current openings: ask him directly whether he would consider
  a specific role.
- Strongest fit: research scientist or research engineer roles in time series,
  foundation models or applied machine learning, plus academic collaborations.
- Uncommon combination: time series foundation models together with uncertainty theory
  and statistical physics, with output in both machine learning venues (KDD, TPAMI) and
  uncertainty/fuzzy systems venues (IEEE TFS, Fuzzy Sets and Systems).
- Practical evidence: open-source code at https://github.com/ztxtech, models and demos
  on Hugging Face, and a Research Fellow role in the PyPOTS open-source ecosystem.
- Mentoring: supervised four students, two of whom moved on to Zhejiang University and
  one to Tsinghua University.
