This is Enpei Zhang, a second-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Dartmouth College, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yujun Yan. Previously, I earned my B.S. in Information Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I worked with Prof. Siheng Chen at Cooperative Medianet Innovation Center (CMIC).

Research

My research interests center on AI agents and multi-agent systems, with an emphasis on how agent interactions and workflow structures shape performance, efficiency, and reliability. Recently, I have focused on principled methods for automatic agent workflow orchestration, grounded in game theory and scheduling theory to improve efficiency and incentive alignment.

Incentivizing inclusive contributions in model sharing markets

Nature Communications, 2025
Paper

Proposed iPFL, an incentive-compatible personalized federated learning framework that formulates federated training as a multi-agent market, enabling heterogeneous data holders to collaboratively train personalized models with formal guarantees of individual rationality and incentive compatibility, while achieving strong performance and economic utility across diverse training tasks including simple classification and LLM SFT.

Judging with Many Minds: Do More Perspectives Mean Less Prejudice?

Paper

Conducted a systematic evaluation of bias behaviors in multi-agent LLM-as-Judge frameworks, modeling evaluation as an interactive multi-agent system rather than a single-judge process. The results reveal the counterintuitive finding that multi-agent debate can exacerbate, rather than reduce, four distinct biases over multiple debate rounds.

Seeing Through the Brain: New Insights from Decoding Visual Stimuli with fMRI
Zheng Huang, Enpei Zhang, Yinghao Cai, Weikang Qiu, Carl Yang, Elynn Chen, Xiang Zhang, Rex Ying, Dawei Zhou, Yujun Yan
ICLR 2026
Paper

Demonstrates that fMRI signals align better with structured text representations than vision model representation; and proposes PRISM, a text-based framework that improves fmri-to-image reconstruction via object-centric diffusion.
