😃 Welcome to my personal page!

I am Zihao Huang (黄子昊 in Chinese), a third-year (2023.09-) master’s student in Artificial Intelligence at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Zhiguo Cao. I was fortunate to be a visiting student at MMLAB@NTU, advised by Prof. Ziwei Liu. I am also an intern at Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, supervised by Hao Zhao. My current research interest is 3D avatars, working on fast and high-quality 3D avatar creations.
