Summary
Zhang Chen is a research engineer with eight years of experience specializing in neural rendering, 6DoF video/photo, implicit neural representations, and high-fidelity 3D reconstruction. He has driven R&D in XR and neural 3D reconstruction at OPPO/InnoPeak and now contributes to research at Meta, building on PhD work at ShanghaiTech and internships at Google and LSU. His work spans photometric and multi-view stereo, polarimetric and light-field imaging, and practical systems for challenging reflectance and underwater scenes—skills that bridge theoretical neural fields and deployable imaging pipelines. Beyond papers and prototypes, he brings a hands-on systems perspective honed by cross-cultural academic-industry roles and an unusual blend of computational imaging and hardware-aware thinking informed by earlier electrical engineering training.
