Hao Zhang 张昊

PhD Student @ UIUC · Research Scientist Intern @ Snap Research

I am a PhD student in ECE at UIUC, and a Research Scientist Intern at Snap Research. I work on Dynamic 3D, 4D Reconstruction and Generation, Animation, Rigging, and Differential Physical Simulation in 3D Vision.

🤝 Open to research collaborations, academic discussions, and mentoring. Feel free to reach out for potential partnerships or if you'd like to chat about 3D/4D research (WeChat: zh17603602632).
