Chengfeng Zhao(赵乘风)

Chengfeng Zhao

I am currently a first-year Ph.D student at Intelligent Graphics Lab in HKUST (IGL-HKUST), supervised by Prof. Yuan Liu. Prior to this, I obtained my master and bachelor's degree from ShanghaiTech University in 2025 and 2022 respectively, advised by Prof. Lan Xu. I was also fortunate to work closely with Prof. Jingyi Yu and Prof. Yuexin Ma.

My research interests are in Computer Graphics and 3D Computer Vision, specifically including video generation, human motion synthesis, learning-based garment simulation, large models, etc.
