Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhixuan Yu is a 3D computer vision research scientist with nine years of experience building photorealistic human models and perception systems, currently advancing telepresence at Meta Reality Labs. He blends deep academic rigor—a PhD from the University of Minnesota and NeurIPS/CVPR publications—with hands-on industry work at Google and Meta on NeRF-based head avatars, multi-view human capture, and few-shot user adaptation. His projects span dense keypoint estimation, large-scale multiview datasets (HUMBI), and practical system engineering from a 107-camera capture rig to auto-calibration for sports and autonomous sensing. Notably, he has led teams for large data collection efforts and translated research into patents and top-tier conference submissions, demonstrating both experimental depth and production-minded impact. Based in Redwood City, he combines expertise in machine learning, multiple-view geometry, and digital human modeling to push realistic VR/AR communication forward.
