Postdoc @ Stanford University

Elliott / Shangzhe Wu


I will be joining the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge as an Assistant Professor in March 2025. If you're interested in our PhD program, please apply here. Also consider applying for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship (deadline in October for US Citizens and December for the rest) and the ELLIS PhD Program (deadline in November).

I am currently a postdoc researcher at Stanford University, working with Jiajun Wu. My current research focuses on unsupervised 3D perception and inverse rendering. I'm particularly fascinated by symmetries and structures in nature, as well as how they connect to the way we make sense of our perceptual experiences. The fundamental motivation of my work is to uncover the underlying statistical and geometric structures of the physical world (e.g., distributions of 3D shape, motion, appearance) from raw, casual observations (e.g., Internet photos, videos, audio) in an unsupervised manner akin to human perception.

I obtained my PhD from Oxford VGG, advised by Andrea Vedaldi and Christian Rupprecht, and BSc in Computer Science from HKUST, working with Chi-Keung Tang and Yu-Wing Tai. I also spent a lovely summer interning at Google Research with Noah Snavely's team.
