📌 Short Bio

Miao Wang is a Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems, Beihang University. His research focuses on immersive interaction for extended reality (XR) and visual media computing. He has published over 50 papers in top-tier venues, including ACM TOG, IEEE TVCG, CVPR, VR, and ISMAR, and has been recognized with Best Paper Awards at IEEE VR 2025 and IEEE ISMAR 2025.

Dr. Wang received his PhD from Tsinghua University in 2016, after which he conducted postdoctoral research there. He contributes actively to the research community as an Associate Editor for several journals including MTAP and CAVW, and through his program committee roles for major conferences like IEEE VR and ISMAR.
