Zhendong Wang (王震东)

I am currently a Senior Algorithm Engineer at the Qwen-Image team. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in June 2026, where I was supervised by Prof. Houqiang Li and Prof. Wengang Zhou . Before that, I received my Bachelor degree from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 2021. I collaborate closely with Dr. Jianmin Bao.

My current research interests are visual foundation and image generation models. I have also conducted research in low-level vision and deepfake detection.

I have obtained 5,000+ citations according to Google Scholar, with the seminal work Uformer contributing 3,000+ citations, which is honored as one of the Most Influential Papers in CVPR 2022 by PaperDigest. Two of my first-author CVPR papers (DesignDiffusion, AltFreezing) are selected as oral presentations.
