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 reinforcement learning, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3D-GS). 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:
  • OpenVLA
  • Diffusion Model
  • ComfyUI
  • NeRF/3D-GS
  • CUDA C++
  • Pytorch

Experience

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.
