Chang Yu | 余畅

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Artificial Intelligence & Visual Computing Lab, UCLA Department of Mathematics, co-advised by Prof. Chenfanfu Jiang and Prof. Demetri Terzopoulos. My research has been generously supported by a Meshy Fellowship.

I graduated with honors from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and I was a Research & Development intern at Taichi Graphics (Now Meshy), where I was fortunate enough to be supervised by Dr. Tiantian Liu.
