Xucong Zhang
Assistant Professor
Research Interest:
My current research is about computer vision, machine learning, and human-computer interactions. My core research interest is human-centred computing as developing techniques for sensing, understanding, and serving the human user.

Gaze estimation
The task is the estimation of where the people looking from the input eye/face image. The methodology is mainly about computer vision and machine learning techniques. -
Human-computer interaction
My current research on HCI is applying the computer vision methods, such as gaze estimation, to the HCI task. -
Human digitalization
My next five years (2022-2027) research plan is to develop the talking virtual avatar that can act like a human being. The virtual avatar can be used for HCI application and human-related modelling. -
Biomechanical prior model
My next ten years (2022 - 2032) research plan is to develop computer vision and machine learning tools for biology- and healthcare-related research. As the starting point, I will introduce the biomechanical prior for the human-related models.
Short Bio:
I am an assistant professor at TU Delft since August 2021. I was a postdoc researcher (2018-2021) in the
Advanced Interaction Technologies Lab at
ETH Zurich, led by
Prof. Otmar Hilliges. I did my PhD research (2013-2018) at
Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPII) (summa cum laude) under the supervision of
Prof. Andreas Bulling in Saarbruken, Germany.
