Mingrui Zhao

I am a forthcoming Ph.D. student in the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, working under the supervision of Prof. Ali Mahdavi-Amiri and Prof. Richard Zhang. My research focuses on Computer Graphics, with particular emphasis on Single View 3D Reconstruction, Primitive Fitting, and Generative Modeling.

Previously, I completed my M.Sc. at Simon Fraser University under the supervision of Prof. Ali Mahdavi-Amiri. My master’s research centered on sweep surfaces based shape abstraction.

Before joining SFU, I served as a Research Assistant at the Australian National University, where I worked with Dr. Liang Zheng and Prof. Hongdong Li on plant digital twins modeling. I completed my undergraduate studies at the Australian National University with a dual degree in Mechatronic Engineering (Research & Development) and Mathematical Sciences. During this time, I had the privilege of working with Prof. Stephen Gould on my honors thesis, which explored linear programming integration into deep learning networks.

Outside of academia, I enjoy solving jigsaw puzzles, playing badminton, swimming, and exploring hiking trails in British Columbia.
