Nice to meet you! I am Yihao Meng (่็ฅๆ), currently a third-year Ph.D. student in CSE at HKUST, supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. I obtained my B.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence (Honor class) from Xiโan Jiaotong University in 2023. My research is supported by the prestigious Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. During my Ph.D., I previously interned at Ant Research (LingBot), mentored by Hao Ouyang and Yujun Shen, and I am currently a Research Scientist Intern at NVIDIA, led by Prof. Sanja Fidler.
My research interests lie in video generation and world models.
