Ze Chen

I am an incoming Ph.D. student at PRLab, Nanjing University, advised by Prof. Xiaoming Li, working on video world models. I am currently finishing my B.E. at Communication University of China, where I conduct research at MIPG on controllable image and video generation and editing, advised by Prof. Qi Mao.

I am always happy to discuss research or collaborate — feel free to reach out.
