Dingxi Zhang

Hi!! I'm Dingxi (Kristen) Zhang, a Master's student in Computer Science at ETH Zurich. My research focuses on 3D vision, computer graphics, and generative models. Currently, I am working on research projects in Computer Vision and Geometry Group led by Prof. Marc Pollefeys. Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I worked with Prof. Lin Gao and Prof. Shiguang Shan at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In my spare time, I love playing basketball, skiing, strumming the guitar, and constructing some Lego creations.

I'm actively seeking PhD positions this cycle.

Research

My research interests are 3D vision, graphics and machine learning. Specifically, my current focus centers on developing efficient neural representations and devising user-friendly and effective methods for interacting with 3D objects and scenes.

A 3D neural style transfer framework with adaptable control over perceptual factors based on 3D Gaussian Splatting representation.

A massive annotated dataset capturing 34 hours of bimanual hand activities, totaling 14k motion clips derived from 183 million frames paired with 84k text annotations.

A novel approach in robot navigation combines LLMs with traditional methods.

A novel stroke-based method for editing facial NeRF appearance. Our method outperforms existing 2D and 3D methods in both editing reality and geometry retention.

Using an weight-encoded Neural Network to approximate a grid of latent codes, while sharing the decoder across the entire category to achieve better reconstruction quality while using less memory per sample to store single geometry.

Experience

Other Interesting Projects

Besides research, I also enjoy coding various projects to explore how computer science can enhance our daily lives, as well as foster engaging interactions with diverse subjects.

An efficient and complete system for cervical spine prevention on common PC device, it can detect cervical posture in real-time, provide timely feedback to remind users to pose correctly and an interactive game to guide the user to exercise their cervical spine scientifically.

A highly compatible and robust platform with impressive performance to construct an artificially organized signaling pathway based on synthetic biology. We designed a NLP-based search tool Powered by Llama2 and BERT for iGEM standard parts, Ask NOX.

A system capable of producing nutritious, delicious, and highly user-free meal replacement foods by lactic acid bacteria modified by synthetic biology technology. We design a portable IoT machine to make meal replacement, an application for our machine & an entertaining science game and a convenient tool for creating wiki.

A comprehensive caffeine intake management system and provide users with scientific and proper caffeine intake recommendations. We design an application Caffeine-monitor to achieve this and an online education platform iGEM EduHub for better Synthetic Biology education.
