Ruizhe Wang received the B.S. degree from Tsinghua University, the M.S. degree from the Caltech, and the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, University of Southern California. He is currently a Principal Research Scientist at ObEN, an artificial intelligence company creating intelligent avatars that look, talk and behave like you and are authenticated and secured on the blockchain. Much of his work has been focusing on developing algorithms to digitize human visual appearance by only using commodity level hardwares. As of his work at ObEN Inc., he is developing a 3D avatar system which allows regular users to easily create and customize their corresponding 3D full body avatars from a single selfie taken with a smartphone. During his Ph.D. study, he worked on various projects, including reconstructing dynamic textured surfaces from three or four handheld depth sensors, body scanning and animation from a single fixed RGB-D camera, object detection from RGB-D images, and home monitoring of patients with Parkinson’s disease using depth sensors. He has coauthored and published more than 15 research papers at top computer vision and computer graphics conferences, including CVPR, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, and VR. He also holds multiple patents directly deriving from his research. His research interests include computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning.
