Welcome to my academic homepage. I am Xu Zhang, a Ph.D. candidate at Wuhan University (WHU) @Sigma advised by Prof. Lefei Zhang and Prof. Bo Du. Before that, I obtained a M.Eng degree from Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT) advised by Dr. Huan Zhang and Prof. Nian Cai. I worked as a research intern at Horizon Robotics, collaborating with and Dr. Guoli Wang and Dr. Qian Zhang. I’m fortunate to work closely with Prof. Weisi Lin from NTU. My research interests include:

• Low-level Vision Perception: All-in-One image restoration, Agentic image restoration, Image/Video quality assessment
• Multimodal Learning: Text-to-Image generation, Diffusion model

📧 I am open to collaboration and welcome inquiries from anyone interested in my research. Please feel free to concat.
