👋 Hi, I’m Yunfan Lu, a final-year Ph.D. student at HKUST (GZ), advised by Prof. Hui Xiong. 🔬 I’m currently a visiting researcher at the Robotics and Perception Group (RPG), led by Prof. Davide Scaramuzza, at the University of Zurich. 🤝 I also collaborate closely with Prof. Yusheng Wang at the University of Tokyo, Dr. Xiaogang Xu at CUHK and Dr. Yanlin Qian at Tampere University.
My research centers on event-based vision and computational imaging, with a focus on challenges, e.g., HDR, low-light enhancement, deblurring, frame interpolation, rolling shutter correction, and super-resolution. My long-term objective is to develop imaging systems for robots that emulate the agility of biological vision by designing an integrated approach that includes optical structures, sensor technology, and advanced imaging algorithms.
I earned my master’s degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Prof. Jun Xiao, where I received the China National Scholarship (top 0.8%). I was also a visiting student at INRIA, Paris. During my bachelor’s at NUST, I was awarded a Silver Medal in the ACM/ICPC Asia Regional Contest. In industry, I gained experience with Dr. Menglong Zhu, Dr. Ye Gao and Dr. LiChao Huang, focusing on computational photography for mobile devices. My passion for imaging technology has driven my work across both academia and industry.
As I enter my final Ph.D. year in 2025, I seek visiting student opportunities and plan to pursue a postdoc in 2026.
Feel free to reach out for discussions and collaborations. Email: ylu066@connect.hkust-gz.edu.cn
