Boyao Zhou

About

I am currently working as a post-doc researcher with Yebin Liu in Tsinghua University for digital humans.

In 2022, I obtained a PhD degree from INRIA Rhône-Alpes & Université Grenoble Alpes (France) under the supervision of Edmond Boyer and Jean-Sébastien Franco for the research of 3D vision. During my PhD, I was working closely with HoloLens team of Microsoft Zürich & Cambridge.

In 2018, I received an Engineer degree from Ecole Polytechnique (France) and a Master's degreee from Paris-Saclay University (France) in Data Sciences. Prior to that, I graduated from Tongji University (China).

I am looking for the next position, starting from May 2025.
