Zhengming Yu

CS Ph.D. student @ Texas A&M • Video Generation / Generative Model / 3D Vision

I am a fourth-year CS Ph.D. student in Aggie Graphics Group of Texas A&M University, supervised by Prof. Wenping Wang and Prof. Xin Li. I received my bachelor degree from South China University of Technology (SCUT). My research interests include Video Generation, Generative Model, and 3D Vision & Graphics.

I spent several wonderful summers interning in industry. In summer 2024, I was a research intern at NVIDIA, AMRI Group, working on interactive 3D avatar generation with Tianye Li, Koki Nagano, and Shalini De Mello. In summer 2025, I was a research intern at Netflix Eyeline Labs, working on video generation for HDR cinematic content with Li Ma, Mingming He, Julien Philip, Ning Yu, and Paul Debevec. In summer 2026, I was a research intern at TikTok, ByteDance Intelligent Creation Lab, working on fast image and video generation via diffusion distillation with Junkun Yuan, Haotian Yang, Gordon Qian, and Chongyang Ma.

I am always open to discussing with different people. Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested! :)

I am currently on the job market. Please feel free to contact me if you have any suitable opportunities!
