Chen Zhang

I am currently a first-year Ph.D. student at Shandong University, supervised by Prof. Runmin Cong. Prior to this, I worked as a researcher at SenseTime, Beijing, China. My research interests lie in deep learning, computer vision, and embodied AI, with a particular focus on vision-and-language navigation, saliency prediction, RAW image sensing, computational photography, and image generation.
