Welcome to Zhiyuan Zhang’s Personal Website
I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong, advised by Jing Liao. My research focuses on controllable image and video generation, generative models, and 3D-guided content creation. During my Ph.D. studies, I have also been fortunate to receive valuable guidance and support from Dongdong Chen. Previously, I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science from CityU in 2023, where I conducted HCI research under the supervision of Ray LC.
