About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Wangxuan Institute of Computer Technology, School of Intelligence, Peking University, supervised by Prof. Jiahuan Zhou. I received my B.Eng. in Software Engineering from the College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, in 2025.

My research interests lie in 3D vision and graphics, with a focus on point cloud processing, scene understanding, and neural scene generation. I am particularly interested in developing efficient, geometry-aware models that unify perception and generation within a single framework. Ultimately, my goal is to build powerful real-world 3D perception models that seamlessly integrate understanding and generation capabilities, and can be deployed on humanoid robot platforms for intelligent interaction in complex environments.

Previously, I was a research intern at the State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, where I worked with Prof. Zhaopeng Cui on large-scale 3D scene reconstruction. These experiences have strengthened my passion for advancing both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of 3D visual understanding and generation.

UPP: Unified Point-Level Prompting for Robust Point Cloud Analysis

ICCV 2025

Zixiang Ai, Zhenyu Cui, Yuxin Peng, Jiahuan Zhou†

Paper   Code  

  • We propose a unified point-level prompting method that reformulates point cloud denoising and completion as a prompting mechanism, enabling robust analysis in a parameter-efficient manner.

Vision Graph Prompting via Semantic Low-Rank Decomposition

ICML 2025

Zixiang Ai, Zichen Liu, Jiahuan Zhou†

Paper   Code  

  • In this paper, we propose Vision Graph Prompting (VGP), a novel framework tailored for vision graph structures. Our core insight reveals that semantically connected components in the graph exhibit low-rank properties.
