Ke Zhou

Hi! I'm a first-year Computer Science Mphil Student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(GZ).

My research interests lie in intersection of extended reality(XR) and human-centered intelligence with a particular focus on leveraging efficient, data-driven techniques to enhance multimodal experiences on portable XR devices. I aim to employ AI-driven approaches to perceive and interpret user-centric data (e.g., eye tracking, hand gestures, physiological signals) and environmental information (e.g., physical properties, semantics) to:

1) Designing intelligent interaction paradigms that provide real-time, adaptive guidance and personalized support to augment human capabilities and foster intuitive user experience.

2) Developing immersive computational frameworks to bridge the gap between hbetween high-fidelity, low-latency visual requirements and strict hardware constraints to enhance user presence and comfort.

Ultimately, my goal is to build next-generation extended reality systems that are both intelligent and immersive, integrating the virtual and physical world seamlessly.

Prior to HKUST(GZ), I received my Bachelor's degree at Chongqing University. During my undergraduate years, I was honored to be advised by Prof. Wai Tong from Texas A&M University and Prof. Teng Han from ISCAS. I also had the privilege to collaborate with Xiang Li from University of Cambridge.

I am actively seeking PhD opportunities for Fall 2026 admission!
