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. My research interests focus on image and video generation/editing. I'm open to collaborations and discussions, so feel free to drop me an email if you're interested.

[May. 2025] I am actively seeking job opportunities. If you think I'm a good fit, please contact me via yuhaoliu7456@gmail.com
