About
Hi, I'm Zangweiπ, founder of Open-Sora and Video-Ocean. I'm working on AI-powered video generation and SaaS products that bridge research and real-world creativity.
I earned my Ph.D. from
National University of Singapore (NUS), advised by Prof. Yang You. I had my research intern in
Bytedance, mentored by Xuan Zhou and Youlong Cheng. I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science from
Nanjing University (NJU). I worked remotely as a research intern at
UC Berkeley for a year, mentored by Dr. Xiangyu Yue and Prof. Alberto L. Sangiovanni-Vincentelli. You can find more about my background in my CV.
π¬ Research Interests: Video Generation, Efficient ML and DL (Deep Learning) Optimization.
