Who am I?

Hi there! I am Zhenggang Tang (唐正纲 in Chinese), a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. Alexander Schwing. Prior to that, I get my Bachelor of Science degree in computer science at Peking University with a Summa Cum Laude. In my high school years, I learned informatics and got a silver award in the National Olympiad of Informatics (NOI 2016).

My current research interest is neural fields and their applications, Previously I also had some research on reinforcement learning(RL) and multi-agent(MA) system. I have conducted or am conducting research in the following fields: 1) NeRF transformation given single RGBD view. 2). RGB-only SDF reconstruction for robotics manipulator control 3) MARL applications on finance and 4) epidemic simulation and 5) reward randomization for RL exploration.

You can check my CV, Google Scholar, Github and Linkedin here.
