Hi, my name is

Zherui Qiu.

I Reconstruct the World with NeRF & 3D-GS

A passionate and innovative AI researcher. I harness cutting-edge techniques to craft virtual worlds that are not only visually stunning and immersive but also meticulously aligned with the principles of the real world.

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Data Science at the University of Science and Technology of China advised by Prof. Juyong Zhang. My research includes publications on embodied intelligence, reinforcement learning, and Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). Currently, I am focused on applying these techniques to embodied intelligence, aiming to enhance spatial understanding and interaction within complex environments.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I actively participate in collaborative projects and workshops, seeking to stay at the forefront of technological advancements and foster interdisciplinary research.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

VLA Models
Diffusion Policy
ComfyUI
NeRF/3D-GS
CUDA C++
Pytorch

Experience

OpenDriveLab
Real Infinity

Research Intern (Full-Time) - OpenDriveLab

Nov 2024 - May 2025

I worked as a research intern at OpenDriveLab in Shanghai, China. I researched embodied intelligence by integrating advanced algorithms with robotic systems and refining manipulation strategies through hands-on experimentation. I also assisted in comprehensive data collection, analysis, and documentation to ensure accurate reporting and clear presentation of experimental findings.

Software Development Intern (Part-Time) - Real Infinity

July 2024 - Nov 2024

I worked as a part-time software development intern at Real Infinity in Anhui, China. Alongside other team members, I contributed to a project that leveraged diffusion models to transform realistic portraits into stylized cartoon images, and we deployed it on a server to enable automatic responses to user requests.
