Hi, this is Zhiyuan Yu. I am an incoming full-time researcher at the CAD&CG Lab, Zhejiang University. I also serve as an algorithm consultant at 4dv.ai. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Mathetics, HKUST, and was advised by Prof. Can Yang. I also worked closely with Prof. Xiaowei Zhou. My research focuses on human-centric 3D vision & graphics, including pose estimation, human reconstruction and human animation.
