Tianfei Zhou

I am Tianfei Zhou (周天飞 in Chinese), a researcher in Computer Vision Laboratory at ETH Zurich, working with Prof. Ender Konukoglu in the BMIC Group.

My research interests have revolved around human-centered visual computing, with the aim to build a machine that (1) technically reflect the depth characterized by human vision, (2) operate transparently, act equitably, respect the privacy, and (3) eventually amplify and augment human capabilities in diverse social challenges, e.g., healthcare.

I have received 1 Best Paper and 1 Outstanding Paper Nomination Awards. The research results in leading algorithms that won several international academic challenges held in conjunction with CVPR, ICCV, and industry challenges held by Alibaba.
