About
Zhiwen Fan is a leading researcher at the forefront of 3D computer vision and embodied AI, with a primary focus on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), neural rendering, and multi-modal perception. His most influential contribution is pioneering the use of 3D Gaussian splatting for SLAM, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2024 work, "MM3DGS SLAM." This paper was the first to show that 3D Gaussian-based map representations can achieve photorealistic scene reconstruction and real-time rendering by integrating vision, depth, and inertial measurements—a breakthrough that bridges the gap between geometric accuracy and visual fidelity. With over 24 citations in just its first year, this work has rapidly become a cornerstone for next-generation spatial intelligence systems. Beyond SLAM, Fan has made significant strides in neural radiance fields and multi-modal learning, consistently pushing the boundaries of how machines perceive and interact with dynamic environments. His research is widely recognized for its practical impact on autonomous navigation, augmented reality, and robotics, establishing him as a rising star whose work is shaping the future of real-time 3D scene understanding.
