Yuhang Ming

Hangzhou, China, 310018

I am a Lecturer at the School of Computer Science, Hangzhou Dianzi University, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Prof. Cewu Lu. I lead the Spatial Intelligence and Interaction Group (SIIG) under Zhejiang Provincial Key Laboratory of BCCITA and Institute of Cognitive Computing and Intelligent Interaction. My research interests cover SLAM, localization, 3D reconstruciton, scene representation, etc.

I was previously a Ph.D. student at the Visual Information Laboratory, University of Bristol, supervised by Prof. Andrew Calway and a visiting Ph.D. student at the State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, supervised by Prof. Guofeng Zhang. Before that, I received my M.S. degree from University of California, San Diego, B.S. from University of Missouri - Columbia and B.Eng. from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
