Ang Cao

I am a forth-year Ph.D. student (2020-) in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, supervised by Prof. Justin Johnson. I have spent wonderful years in computer vision group @ Michigan. Before that, I was a M.S. Student at UMich ECE (2018-2020) and I did my Bachelor's degree at Wuhan University in China (2014-2018). I am honored to collaborate with Prof. Andrew Owens.

My primary interest is computer vision and machine learning, especially 3D vision. In particularly, I am exploring to empower 3D/4D vision with 2D information. I love fun research.

I had an amazing time as research scientist intern at Facebook AI Research~(FAIR) GenAI, Meta, London 2023 May-Nov., very fortunately working with David Novotny and Andrea Vedaldi.

I am actively looking for internships in 2024 Summer. Feel free to contact me!
