I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the School of Computer Science, Fudan University, where I work at Vision and Learning Lab (FVL) under the supervision of Prof. Yu-Gang Jiang (IEEE Fellow) and Prof. Zuxuan Wu. Before this, I received my BS degree from Tianjin University.

My research interests lie broadly in computer vision and deep learning. I mainly focus on video generation, editing and recognition. I am also open and willing to explore other vision tasks, e.g., AIGC, 3D understanding. See details about me in CV.

I am set to graduate in 2025 and am actively seeking job opportunities in both industry and academia. If you are interested in discussing potential collaborations or positions, please feel free to email me at zhenxingfd@gmail.com.
