Welcome to the
Computational Imaging and Sensing (CIS) lab

Our group is led by Prof. Jun Zhang, and focuses on the research of intelligent sensing, aiming to develop novel techniques to acquire and understand high-dimensional visual information. Our research interests include multi-dimensional imaging (spectrum, phase), high-speed imaging, imaging through scattering, and image-free sensing.
