Zhaoyang Wang
I'm a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University , advised by Prof. Rama Chellappa and Prof. Alan L. Yuille .
I received my MRes degree in Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Intervention from Imperial College London, where I was advised by Prof. Guang-Zhong Yang .
My research lies at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, 4D human understanding, biometrics, LLMs and medical imaging.
