Jackson Zane

Junior at Stanford University pursuing a B.S. in Data Science & Mathematics graduating Spring 2027. I'm focused on embodied and generative AI agents in games and VR/XR contexts, and exploring how to make virtual characters feel persistent, believable, and genuinely interactive.

I work across the full stack of agent systems: from the ML models that drive behavior to the deployment infrastructure that makes them real. My peer-reviewed work analyzing DNA methylation patterns across a large breast cancer patient dataset reflects an early interest in data-driven research, but my current projects center on bringing AI agents to life in immersive environments. Outside of coursework, I lift, game, and box.
