Shangzhan Zhang

I am a first-year PhD student at Oxford VGG, advised by Prof. Christian Rupprecht, funded by Oxford-DeepMind Graduate Scholarship.

Previously, I was a research intern at Ant Research, where I was fortunate to be mentored by Dr. Nan Xue and receive research guidance from Prof. Yinghao Xu and Dr. Yujun Shen. During summer, I had the privilege to collaborate with Dr. Yinghao Xu and Prof. Gordon Wetzstein from Stanford University. I got my M.Eng in Computer Science from Zhejiang University in 2025, where I was privileged to work closely with Prof. Sida Peng and Prof. Xiaowei Zhou.

My research interests lie in generative models, model-based RL, and 3D foundation models. I’d really appreciate the chance to exchange ideas with anyone who shares similar interests!
