Zhen Dong (董震)

Prof. Zhen Dong (董震)

I am a Professor and the head of 3S (GNSS/RS/GIS) integration department in the LIESMARS, Wuhan University. Before joining Wuhan University, I received my doctor degree advised by Prof. Bisheng Yang in 2018 and worked with Prof. Sebastian Scherer for 1 year in the Air Lab of Carnegie Mellon University. My research interest lies in the field of 3D Computer Vision, particularly including 3D reconstruction, scene understanding, point cloud processing as well as their applications in intelligent transportation system, digital twin cities, urban sustainable development and robotics.

I am looking for self-motivated students, postdocs, research assistants and visiting scholars! Please drop me an email if you are interested in working with me!
