Tong Zhao

I obtained my Ph.D. degree at the School of Vehicle and Mobility, Tsinghua University, in 2025. I was also a visiting student at the MSC Lab in UC Berkeley. I received my Bachelor degree from Xiamen University (XMU) in 2020.

I have joined Xpeng Motors, engaging in 3D vision and spatial intelligence with applications to autonomous driving and embodied AI. Welcome to contact me at zhaotong.2020@tsinghua.org.cn for collaboration or intern.
