Yuhao Liu

Ph.D. Candidate @CityUHK

I'm Yuhao, a third-year Ph.D. candidate at the City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Rynson W.H. Lau. Previously, I obtained my master's degree from Dalian University of Technology and bachelor's degree from ZhengZhou University. During my Ph.D. studies, I was fortunate to work closely with Dr.Tengfei Wang from Tencent Hunyuan3D. I was also lucky to collaborate with Dr.Ke Xu from CityU HK and Prof.Qing Guo from A*STAR.
