Guanzhou Ji

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in Information and Software Engineering at Northeastern University – Seattle, College of Engineering, where I joined in Fall 2025. I currently teach Java programming, data structure, and Large Language Model applications. I also mentor graduate-level theses on Agentic AI, Multimodal Machine Learning, and 3D graphics.

I received my Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University in February 2025, focusing on indoor virtual staging, and later served as a Research Associate at the Robotics Institute, School of Computer Science. At the Illumination and Imaging Laboratory, my research focuses on 3D graphics, image-based rendering, and physics-based simulation, leading to the development of digital applications for scene understanding and interactive software systems. My work has been featured in LD+A Magazine

I serve on the technical committees of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) and contribute to industry standards and imaging technologies. In April 2026, I joined the LEUKOS journal as an Associate Editor in the area of VR/AR and Machine Learning. I have also served as a session chair for Computer Graphics at the International Symposium on Visual Computing (2025) and was a recipient of the Student and Emerging Professionals Scholarship (2022) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA)–USA.
