Nice to meet you! I am Wenshuo ZHANG (张文硕), currently a Ph.D. student in HKUST VisLab, at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu and work with Dr.Linping Yuan.
Before joining HKUST, I obtained my B.S. degree in Automation, the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, Xi’an Jiaotong University, FYP supervised by Prof. Lei CHEN and Dr. Zhao CHEN at HKUST Guangzhou in 2024. I also obtain a dual Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (ACCA Track), the Management School, Xi’an Jiaotong University, FYP supervised by Prof. Hong ZHAO in 2024. During my UG study, I went to Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the University of Hong Kong as a government-sponsored exchange student and worked with Prof. Xiaojuan QI there.
My research interest lies in leveraging “Natural Language Processing” to build “Human-Centric AI” to Make the Impossible Possible and the Possible Easy.

👨🏭 Projects
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Great Bay Area Regional Earth System Digital Twin Project
- The project seeks to transform traditional RES modeling by creating an accurate, flexible, and user-friendly digital twin of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Bay Area. Integrating real-time data from various sectors, it provides a detailed view of the renewable energy system. We are developing an immersive analytics system for seamless interaction, enabling users to extract valuable insights. This supports informed decision-making for sustainable development, focusing on disaster prevention and enhancing urban planning, resource management, and environmental policy, benefiting millions in the region.
- We are hiring! If you are interested in this project, please send email to vislab-hiring@outlook.com and check Linping YUAN’s Webpage.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Digital Twin Smart Campus
- The project aims to create a comprehensive digital twin platform that integrates diverse data on campus, aiming to enhance the convenience and interactivity of campus life for students and faculty. The project monitors crowd dynamics and facility status in real time while ensuring user privacy through core features such as augmented reality exploration, gamified sustainability, social interaction and smart navigation. The platform integrates cafeteria information, course scheduling, activity information, social assistance, and environmental data monitoring, and provides data support for campus management through mobile apps, VR, and large-screen displays to create an intelligent and efficient learning and living environment.
