About
Dr. Chuanxia Zheng is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Fellow and Research Fellow at the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) within the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, working with Professors Andrea Vedaldi and Andrew Zisserman. He holds a PhD from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where his thesis on 'Synthesizing Photorealistic Images' earned the NTU Outstanding PhD Thesis Award in 2022. Starting Fall 2025, he will assume the position of Nanyang Assistant Professor at NTU's College of Computing and Data Science, leading the Physical Visual Group.
His research focuses on Creative AI, emphasizing systems that perceive, reconstruct, and interact with the physical world. Key areas include 3D/4D reconstruction, generative models, and digital twins integrating geometric, dynamic, and physical properties. He has pioneered methods like feed-forward 3D reconstruction (Flash3D), amodal completion (Amodal3R), and physics-aware generative models (DSO).
Notable awards include the Singapore NRF Fellowship (2025), DAAD Ainet Fellowship (2024), and MSCA Fellowship (2024). His work spans over 30 peer-reviewed publications in top venues like CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS, and ICCV, with contributions to open-source projects like CVQ-VAE on GitHub.
Current openings include PhD, postdoc, and research assistant positions focused on advancing physical-aware AI systems and generative modeling.
