Zifan Shi

Hello! I am a research scientist at Adobe Research. I obtained my PhD degree at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Dit-Yan Yeung and Prof. Qifeng Chen. During my PhD study, I was a visiting student researcher at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Gordon Wetzstein. Before that, I obtained a Bachelor's degree at Nanjing University. My research interests include world model, generative models and 3D&4D vision.

If you're interested in collaborating or doing an internship with me, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
