Jiahui Zhang

I am an incoming Ph.D. student at the School of Computing, Boise State University, starting in Fall 2026 under the supervision of Prof. Yu Zhang at the NIUCElab. My research focuses on 3D scene understanding, occupancy prediction, and embodied AI — building systems that perceive, represent, and reason about complex 3D environments.

Previously, I was a Research Assistant in the Computer Vision Lab at the University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Zezhou Cheng, where I worked on multi-frame 3D perception and transformer-based scene understanding.

Broadly, I am interested in how visual systems integrate temporal, geometric, and structural information to form coherent 3D representations of complex environments. I aim to advance fundamental methods in visual scene modeling and contribute to applications in robotics, ecology, and embodied agents.
