About

Hello, welcome to Shaoxiang Guo’s homepage.

I received my Ph.D. degree (Computer Science) from Ocean University of China (OUC) in 2024, under supervised by Prof. Junyu Dong.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Zhejiang University (College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering), working with Prof. Susanto Rahardja. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the National Robotarium (Heriot-Watt University & University of Edinburgh), under supervised by Prof. Mustafa Suphi Erden, where I contributed to an EPSRC-funded project.

My research interests broadly include computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, and geometry-aware representation learning, with a focus on:

• Monocular 3D hand pose/mesh reconstruction
• Geometry-guided learning
• Beam image understanding for optical alignment
• 3D Reconstruction/Underwater Stereo Matching/Robotics
• (Recently exploring) speaker diarization and audio representation learning
