Openings

Thanks for your interest in joining my research group and collaborating with me. I am actively seeking self-motivated PhD students, visiting students, and independent study students. Candidates with a strong background in computer vision, machine learning, or artificial intelligence are highly encouraged to apply.

Prospective PhD students

I have multiple PhD student openings in Information Sciences and Computer Science in the following research areas:

• Continual learning and few-shot learning: learning deep neural networks efficiently on limited labeled data and continual data streams. Related papers: [Sun et al., 2019], [Liu et al., 2020], [Liu et al., 2021], [Liu et al., 2023], [Fischer et al., 2024], etc.
• 3D generative models: developing 3D-aware generative models to better understand the underlying 3D structures in 2D images. Related papers: [Ma et al., 2023], [Fischer et al., 2024], [Ma et al., 2024], etc.

If you are interested, please send an email to lyy+apply@g.illinois.edu with your CV and transcripts. Please remember to submit your formal application through the official system as well.

Visiting students and independent study students

I always welcome visiting students and independent study students for collaboration across a wide range of research areas. If you are an undergraduate, master’s, or PhD student and are interested in collaborating with me, please feel free to reach out.
