Zhou Zixiang

I am currently a researcher at Tencent HunYuan. My research interests include video generation and multimodal human-centric generation.

Before joining Hunyuan, I spent wonderful two and half years at xiaobing.ai, where I worked on multimodal human motion generation and understanding. Before that I was a research and development engineer at Baidu IDG, and a senior engineer at Huawei ADS, respectively. I received my Ph.D. degree from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Jie Gong in 2018. I worked as a research intern at Bentley System with Dr. Zheng Yi Wu in 2017.
