👨💻 About Me
I am currently an associate professor in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at BNU-HKBU United Internation College
I used to be an Associate Professor in College of Computer Science, Nankai University. Before that, I was a senior algorithm engineer and a senior product manager in Alibaba Group, where I mainly worked on a perception system for autonomous vehicles.
I earned my Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University, working under the supervision of Prof. Weisi Lin. I also spent one wonderful year via a joint PhD program in Technische Universität Darmstadt, under the supervision of Dr. Michael Goesele. I hold a B.S. degree from Harbin Institute of Technology.
My research broadly focuses on 3D Vision and Generative AI, with particular interests in visual localization, novel view synthesis, visual text generation and video prediction. I am recruiting PhD and Mphil students and RAs who want to work on the above mentioned research topics. If you are interested in joining my group, please email your CV to wentaocheng(AT)uic.edu.cn.
