Yidi Zhang

I am Yidi Zhang (张祎迪 in Chinese), a third-year undergraduate majoring in Computer Science and Technology at Chu Kochen Honors College, Zhejiang University, privileged to be supervised by Prof. Sida Peng at ZJU3DV Lab . I also spent a wonderful semester as an exchange student at the University of California, Berkeley Extension in Spring 2025. I am currently working on Real2Sim transformation to better train/evaluate VLA models, supervised by Prof. Katerina Fragkiadaki .

Research

I'm interested in Robotics, Computer Vision and Generative AI. I'm thrilled to explore how to get machines to understand and interact with the world around them as we humans do!

Final project for UC Berkeley COMPSCI 280 (Graduate Computer Vision).

We propose DREAMoR, a diffusion-based motion prior framework that reconstructs physically plausible human motion from sequences corrupted by occlusions, poor visibility, and ambiguous poses in monocular motion capture.

Education and Experience

Miscellaneous

Love Music! I play the piano and I'm also an alto in the school choir. Checkout our performance! I love Chopin and Mikhail Pletnev and I'm also a huge fan of rock music — my favorite band is Queen! I also enjoy listening to The Beatles, Eagles, Guns N' Roses, and many more.

Love Literature! I enjoy works of Albert Camus, 张爱玲 and 鲁迅 the most. Here's little piece of my writing in Chinese.
