Zhongyu Yang

Hi! I’m Zhongyu Yang, a final year undergraduate student at Lanzhou University, majoring in Mathematics (the Basic Theory Class). Currently, I am working as a Remote Intern at KAUST Vision-CAIR.

My research interests include 2D/3D AIGC, Multimodal understanding, generation, and interaction, and Energy Economics. You may refer to my personal CV or CV_CN for more information.

In my past research, I am most interested in 2D/3D AIGC. In the short term, I hope to make a controllable and editable generative model to better understand multimodal input, not just prompts and visual encoders. My long-term research goal is to develop intelligent machines that can actively perceive, analyze, and interpret human states, behaviors, and potential motivations in dynamic scenes.

Outside of research, I’m a big fan of the Los Angeles Lakers. My GOATs are Lionel Messi⚽ and LeBron James🏀 in their respective fields.

Looking for a PhD position now.

Feel free to reach out if you want to WeChat/Tel or collaborate with Email.
