Peihao Zhu is a Senior Research Scientist with a decade of experience at the intersection of academic research and industry productization, currently driving applied ML research at ByteDance after internships at Meta and Snap. A KAUST PhD candidate in Computer Science, he combines deep technical rigor—evidenced by publications on Google Scholar—with hands-on engineering contributions such as improving GAN-based image compositing masks for the SIGGRAPH Asia Barbershop project. He has a track record of turning research prototypes into robust pipeline components (e.g., mask inpainting, dilation/erosion enhancements) that improve real-world image processing. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Peihao bridges academic insight and production needs, excelling at both algorithm design and practical implementation.

Barbershop: GAN-based Image Compositing using Segmentation Masks (SIGGRAPH Asia 2021)
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:31 commits, 2 PRs, 26 pushes in 10 months
Contributions summary:Peihao primarily contributed to the project by modifying the `Alignment` module, which is a core component in the image compositing pipeline. Their changes involved implementing an auto mask inpainting process, which enhances the quality of segmentation masks. They also added dilation and erosion techniques for improved mask processing. The user also made changes to the main script, and the bash file, suggesting a contribution to the overall workflow and execution of the project.
