Nice to meet you! I am Yihao Meng (蒙祎昊), currently a second year Ph.D. student in HKUST VisLab, at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. Before joining HKUST, I obtained my B.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence (Honor class in Qian Xuesen College) from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2023.
My research interests lie in controllable video generation and human-ai collaboration.
