My name is Tianhao Zhao(赵天豪), a PhD Student at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in the HUST Media Lab, advised by Prof. Wei Yang. My research interest includes 3D mesh generation and diffusion.
Apart from my research, I enjoy playing Valorant, where I often take on the role of the in-game leader (IGL)😂😂😂.

LATO.2: Factorized 3D Mesh Generation with Vertex and Topology Flow
Hang Long*, Tianhao Zhao*, Junkai Lin, Youjia Zhang, Huipeng Guo, Rendong Liang, Jiale Xu, Jozef Hladký, Matthias Nießner, Yuanming Hu, Wei Yang$\dagger$
- We present LATO.2, a factorized flow matching framework that splits mesh generation into a vertex flow followed by a vertex-conditioned connectivity flow over a shared voxel scaffold, enabling part-wise high-resolution synthesis and topology-adaptive editing.
