About Me

I am Zhaoyang Zhang, a 4th year Ph.D. student at Yale University advised by Prof. Julie Dorsey. I am affiliated with the Yale Computer Graphics Group. Before joining Yale, I obtained my B.Eng. at University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, with highest honor. My undergrad research was advised by Prof. Lin Gao.

My research specializes in generative models for computer graphics, with a focus on developing geometrically consistent methods for digital content creation, spanning 3D scenes, videos, and beyond. I am fortunate to have interned at Apple  in 2025 and Adobe🔺 in 2024.
