Dingbang Huang 「黄定邦」

I'm a senior undergraduate student from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, affiliated with School of Physics and School of Computer Science, ranking 2nd in my major.

I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Georgios Pavlakos and Prof. Qixing Huang at UT Austin, Prof. Bo Dai at Shanghai AI Lab, Prof. Cewu Lu, Prof. Yonglu Li and Prof. Hesheng Wang at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I also work closely with Prof. Etienne Vouga and Prof. Volkan Isler at UT Austin.

I am actively seeking a Ph.D. position beginning in Fall 2026 !!

Research Interest
In general, my research interests focus on the intersection of 3D Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and Robotics. More specifically, I am interested in how human interact with the dynamic physical world, including human-object/scene interaction (HOI/HSI), 4D reconstruction, human motion, physics-based character animation, humanoid whole-body manipulation and visual generative modelig.

Goal
My short-term goal is to develop a data flywheel for human-object interactions that facilitates large-scale learning from internet visual data in an extensible, self-evolving and eventually self-supervised manner.
My long-term goal is to build intelligent systems that can percieve and understand the dynamic physical world and enable embodied agents like digital humans and humanoid robots to autonomously interact with their surroundings as humans do.
