I am Zhilin Guo, a PhD student in Computer Science with
Core Lab at University
of Cambridge, supervised by
Prof. Cengiz Öztireli.
My research revolves around developing AI algorithms and tools that
allow easy understanding, recreating, and editing of high-fidelity 3D scenes.
Before joining Cambridge, I completed my Master's at Columbia University and my Bachelor's
at Boston University, and worked with Prof. Zhiguo Cao
and Prof. Yang Xiao
on spatial-temporal 3D hand pose estimation for Parkinson's Disease evaluation.
When I'm not immersed in research, I find solace in tennis, driving, and painting miniature
models. I am always looking for collaborations or simple exchanges on shared academic interests!
