Mi Zhou

Exploring AI, optics, and visual signal processing.

For now, I am a PhD student at the Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University, where I work on holographic display for virtual and augmented reality. My PhD advisor is Zihan Geng. Before that, I was an undergraduate student of Central South University (CSU) majoring in communication engineering.
