Xiang (Ryan) Li
My name is Xiang Li (李想; pronounced "Shiang Li"). I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign (UIUC), advised by Prof. James M. Rehg. My research focuses on the analysis and alignment of visual generative AI, with an emphasis on 3D generation.
In recent years, I have interned at FAIR Perception (Meta AI), working with Weiyao Wang, Sasha Sax, and Hao Tang. I also interned at Google Research with Boqing Gong. I received my bachelor's degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where I was advised by Prof. Yu-Wing Tai and Prof. Chi-Keung Tang.
