About Me

I am Zhaoyang Zhang, a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science 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 as an Outstanding Graduate of Beijing. 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.

I grow up in Nanjing, a city with lovely people, delicious food and rich history. Besides academics, I am a badminton🏸 player, an aviation✈️ geek, and a photographer📷 capturing primarily on my behalf and for myself.
