Jiahao Zhang

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at University of Macau, supervised by Prof. Zhedong Zheng and Dr. Shaofei Huang. I was a software engineer at CiticBank from 2021 to 2025. Previously, I obtained a Master degree of mechanical engineering at City University of Hong Kong in 2020 and a Bachelor degree of Automation at Nankai University in 2018.

I am interested in computer vision and related topics. I believe that humanity can explore and ultimately create entirely new worlds through the power of computer vision. My research interest focuses on multimodal models and generative learning.
