Bo Zhang received the Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering from Fudan University, in 2022. His research is focused on 3D perception-reasoning task, 2D/3D pre-training, 2D/3D continuous learning, 2D/3D few-shot learning. His research outcomes (perception-reasoning task) have some impacts on industrial applications like airport checkpoint security perceptual recognition and localization of concealed or dangerous objects. His work has led to many awards, including Shanghai Rising Star awarded by the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Science and Technology, the National Scholarship 2021 China Award, the 2019 Excellent Doctoral Scholarship of Fudan University Award, and various awards from VALSE China and Shanghai Government.
He is currently a Researcher with Shanghai AI Laboratory, working on developing many major open-source projects including: 1) Open-source codebase of continuous learning/pre-training (3DTrans Code Link); 2) Open-source perception-reasoning codebase for multi-modal structured-knowledge learning
We are hiring: Our team aims to broaden the boundaries of general perception-reasoning task, trying to find unified-yet-structured representations that can be generalized across different domains and scenarios under different modalities and tasks. Meanwhile, we are working on extracting knowledge-rich data from different domains. We are searching for highly self-motivated interns. If you are interested in our research tpoic, do not hesitate to contact me.
