# Robert Zhou

> Robert Zhou (also known as Bob Zhou and Qunbo Zhou) is a software & AI engineer and computational biology student at Colby College. Hi, I'm Robert. I build software, AI models, and games, and study computational biology at Colby. I obsess over making things that are fast, real, and keep working on their own.
