My name is Zixuan Huang (黄子煊, pronounced as Zi-Shwan Hwung), currently a final-year CS PhD student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign advised by James Rehg. I got my masters degree at University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I was fortunate to work with Professor Yin Li. I received my B.E. in the Special Class for Gifted Young from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2018. My main research focus is scalable and generalizable 3D shape reconstruction.

In the past few years, I have also worked with Varun Jampani and Mark Boss at Stability AI, Chao-Yuan Wu and Justin Johnson at FAIR Labs (Meta AI), Varun Jampani and Yuanzhen Li at Google Research, as well as Hongsheng Li and Shuai Yi at Sensetime.

I will be seeking AI-related full-time opportunities in industry which start around summer or fall 2025. Please reach out if you think I could be a good fit!
