Brown University

Hi! My name is Zekun Li (李泽坤). I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Brown University, working with Prof. Srinath Sridhar at Interactive 3D Vision & Learning Lab.

Before studying at Brown, I received my B. Eng. degree with honors in Computer Science at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). My undergraduate research advisor is Prof. Zhao Kang. Previously, I have enriched my research experience as an intern at Tencent AI Lab and Honda Research Institute.

My research interest focuses on Generative Models and Computer Graphics. I am keen on combining knowledge-based principles and learning-based networks to achieve robust, responsible, controllable, and creative models for visual content generation. Recently, I mainly focused on vision content customization and human-X interaction.

I’m always open to collaboration. If you want to work with me, please contact me without hesitation! (○’◡’○)ﾉ
