PhD student at HKUST(GZ)

I’m Zhuoran Zhao, a second-year PhD student in Computational Media and Arts at HKUST(GZ), supervised by Prof. Pan Hui and Prof. Anyi Rao. My research interests are mainly in 3D Computer Vision and Video Generation / Editing. Before that, I received my master’s degree in Computer Science (AI Specialization) at National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by Prof. Angela Yao and Dr. Linlin Yang at the CVML Lab.

I received my B.Eng degree in Software Engineering from South China University of Technology (SCUT). Previously, I had work experience in Tencent and worked as research assistant in SCUT advised by Prof.Junying Chen.
