Hi, I’m Xinzhi Zhang, a researcher in early modern English drama. I’m pursuing a PhD at the University of Zurich, where I explore how technology can transform early modern theatre and what empathy and ethics mean for spectatorship. Beyond academia, I work at the intersection of creative writing, model training, and digital humanities, with experience supporting ETH Zurich research projects and coordinating academic-industry outreach. I enjoy turning complex ideas into engaging content, building reproducible datasets, and experimenting with tools to illuminate human creativity and the ethics of technology in performance.…Hi, I’m Xinzhi Zhang, a researcher in early modern English drama.
