Shaocong Dong

I am a first-year CSE Ph.D. student of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and my advisor is Prof. Dan Xu. I received both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Beijing Institute of Technology, supervised by Prof. Jianan Li. I spent a wonderful time in Qcraft and SenseTime as a research intern, mentored by Boyin Zhang and Dr. Zhanpeng Huang, respectively.

My current research interest lies in 3D vision, especially for high-quality, controllable 3D Generation with Diffusion Model and NeRF.

I have been working on Diffusion Model for 3D generation. My previous work also included 3D perception on Point Clouds. (*: Equal Contribution †: Corresponding Author)

Text-to-3D Generation with Bidirectional Diffusion using both 2D and 3D priors
Lihe Ding*, Shaocong Dong*, Zhanpeng Huang, Zibin Wang†, Yiyuan Zhang, Kaixiong Gong, Dan Xu, Tianfan Xue
arXiv, 2023
project page / paper / video

We intergrate both 3D and 2D diffusion models with powerful priors into a unified framework with bidirectional guidance.
