About
Scientist, builder, and curious collaborator.
Hi there! I am Zibo Hu, but you can call me Paul. As a passionate explorer in AI and optics, I thrive on turning bold ideas into reality.
With an ENTP personality, I am full of energy and curiosity, always eager to embrace business adventures, experiment with new things, and share ideas. My life in Virginia, USA is brightened by my amazing wife and daughter, who inspire me every day.
My pursuit in life is scientific exploration: to push the boundaries of human knowledge. You are welcome to join my projects, and I would be just as excited to join yours.
I am also working in the telecom industry as the North America Representative for Talfod Inc., connecting technical capability, regional relationships, and new business opportunities.
