Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Cheng is a research scientist specializing in generative models, currently at Netflix after a D.Phil. at the University of Oxford and internships at Stability AI and Adobe. Over nine years he has built a strong research-to-production track record in 3D-aware image generation, large-scale unannotated data mining (3DMiner, ICCV 2023), and practical system implementations from node.js render pipelines to lightweight 3D reconstruction. His work sits at the intersection of computer vision and generative AI, applying rigorous academic methods to industry-scale problems and shipping models that bridge 2D and 3D understanding. Based in Oxford, he combines deep theoretical training with hands-on engineering, and has a pattern of moving ideas from papers to production during short, impactful internships. Notably, his background spans both HCI and robotics projects, giving him practical systems instincts that complement his research focus.
