Zhongang Cai   蔡中昂


Hi there! I'm a Senior Research Scientist at SenseTime Research. My responsibility includes building systems and algorithms that perceive, reconstruct and generate humans. I received my Ph.D. from MMLab@NTU, advised by Prof. Ziwei Liu and Prof. Chen Change Loy, where I spent wonderful years exploring monocular motion capture for virtual humans.
