Zhewen Zheng
Zhewen Zheng is a Master of Science in Computer Vision student at Carnegie Mellon University. Previously, he worked as a research assistant at Shanghai AI Laboratory, where he co-authored an ICLR 2026 paper on efficient, high-fidelity on-the-fly 3D reconstruction from monocular image sequences. His interests broadly span 3D vision, SLAM, Gaussian Splatting, human reconstruction, and real-time visual intelligence. He is especially interested in developing practical vision systems that connect geometric understanding, robust reconstruction, and real-world deployment. In his free time he likes playing games and badminton.
Simon Minami
Simon is originally from Palo Alto, CA and is currently pursuing his Master’s in computer vision at Carnegie Mellon University. In the past, Simon has enjoyed working on computer vision topics such as 3D reconstruction and player tracking in sports. In his free time, he enjoys playing basketball and spending time with friends.
