Summary
Zhoutong Zhang is a research scientist with a decade of experience bridging academic vision research and production-grade computational photography. Currently at Adobe Nextcam, he leads diffusion-based, photography-level image editing and fast multi-frame algorithms, and was a core full‑stack developer for Project Indigo, a top-tier camera app for iPhones. He earned a PhD at MIT EECS under William T. Freeman after contributing CVPR-accepted work on light fields and phase-based stereo from Tsinghua, and has interned at Stanford on 3D shape analysis. His work blends rigorous theory with shipping products, moving generative models toward scalable, real-time photographic applications. Based in Cambridge and affiliated with CSAIL, he brings uncommon depth across imaging algorithms, system implementation, and end-user mobile experience.
