We are currently looking for self-motivated PhD students (starting from Fall 2025 or later), Post-docs (starting at any time), and Visiting graduate students (CSC-funded or self-funded) to work together on 3D computer vision. The specific research topics include (but are not limited to):

  1. 3D Scene Understanding with practical learning problems:
    1. Data-efficient learning (e.g., semi-supervised, few-shot learning, self-supervised learning, active learning)
    2. Multi-modal joint learning
    3. Out-of-distribution learning (e.g., domain adaptation/generalization, open-vocabulary)
    4. Multi-task learning
    5. Continual learning
  2. 3D Scene Reconstruction:
    1. Generalizable 3D scene reconstruction
    2. Simultaneous 3D scene reconstruction and understanding
    3. Holistic 3D scene reconstruction (reconstruct both objects and humans)
    4. 3D scene reconstruction and editing/generation
  3. 3D Scene Generation and Editing:
    1. Text-to-3D
    2. Image-to-3D
  4. Embodied Task-Oriented Learning:
    1. Object grasping
    2. Object manipulation

PhD

General Requirements:

  1. You should have a bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related field, with excellent academic performance.
  2. You should have strong programming skills and be familiar with deep learning frameworks like PyTorch.Winners of ACM/ICPC or NOI/IOIare preferred.
  3. You should have some research experience in computer vision/machine learning.Having relevant research papers is a plus.
