About Me

Introduction

    My name is Yu Yuan (袁煜). I am a second-year PhD student at Purdue ECE, under the supervision of Prof. Stanley H. Chan. Prior to this, I obtained my master and bachelor degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2023 and 2020 respectively.

   My research interests encompass computer vision and machine learning, with a particular emphasis on computational photography and generative models. My long-term goal is to create a physically consistent generative world.
