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)😂😂😂.
