PhD Student

  • MS in Computer Science, University of Southern California 
  • BE in Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology — China 

Hanhui Wang is a PhD student in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston. He is advised by Huaizu Jiang. 

Wang’s academic interests center on controllable video generation, multimodal learning, and 3D/4D vision. His current work aims to enable generative models to respond to diverse user inputs and conditions, with a long-term vision of developing world models capable of reasoning about and simulating complex human–scene interactions. 

Before beginning his PhD in 2025, Wang was a research assistant in the TACO-Group at Texas A&M University. There, he worked to protect personal images from malicious editing using facial recognition models and feature embedding penalties. Wang also worked as a research assistant in Northeastern’s Visual Intelligence Lab — developing SNAP, a semi-automated labeling tool for real-world applications — and in the Embedded and Pervasive Computing Lab at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), where he contributed to few-shot learning for 3D instance segmentation. 

Wang received the China National Scholarship — the highest national scholarship for undergraduate students in China — and the Outstanding Undergraduates in Term of Academic Performance Award, the highest honor for undergraduates at HUST.  His work has appeared at top computer science venues, including the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems and the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition.
