Yangyan Li(李扬彦)
Biography
Yangyan Li is currently working in Alibaba Group. He was a professor in School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University. Before that, he was a postdoctoral research fellow in Stanford University with Prof. Leonidas J. Guibas and Tel Aviv University with Prof. Daniel Cohen-Or. Yangyan received his PhD degree from University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013, under supervision of Prof. Baoquan Chen. His primary research interests fall in the field of Computer Graphics and Computer Vision, with an emphasis on 3D learning and vision.
I am hiring full-time R&D with Master/PhD degrees (but not short-term interns), with strong interests in learning and vision problems, including but not limited to point cloud/image/video related recognition, detection, segmentation and synthesis. Please contact me if you are interested.
