Zimo Wang

Hi, I am Zimo Wang 王子墨, a Data Science Ph.D. student at University of California, San Diego. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Tzu-Mao Li to explore various problems in Computer Graphics, especially with a focus on statistical methods for differentiable and inverse rendering.

I am excited to conduct research which is effectively inspired by mathematics and powerful for tangible graphics applications. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research or have any questions.

    ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information 11, no. 8: 450. 2022.
    tl;dr: Neural networks can be powerful for learning kernel functions in a spatial weighted regression model to predict house prices.

    Hobbies

  • I like stargazing.  /  In the final of the schoolwide freshmen debate competition of Zhejiang University, my team got the second place.

  • I had my rock&roll band in the high school!

  • Gallery

    After an incredible journey around the world, I'm excited to share some breathtaking views with you. Join me in exploring these beautiful moments captured through my lens!
