ASSET Seminar: “Title TBD”

Lingjie Liu is the Aravind K. Joshi Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where she leads the Penn Computer Graphics Lab and is also a member of the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing & Perception (GRASP) Lab.

Previously, she was a Lise Meitner Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Max Planck Institute for Informatics. She received her Ph.D. degree at the University of Hong Kong in 2019.

Lingjie’s research interests are at the interface of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and AI, with a focus on Neural Scene Representations, Neural Rendering, Human Performance Modeling and Capture, and 3D Reconstruction. She is especially excited about exploring a new genre of 3D reconstruction and rendering algorithms for human characters and general scenes, which combine classical computer graphics pipelines with deep learning techniques.

Her long-term vision is to develop AI technologies that can perceive, understand and interact with 3D objects, people, and environments. Specifically, her research will pursue three goals:

(1) High-quality 3D reconstruction of real-world scenes from sparse inputs;

(2) Efficient and photo-realistic image synthesis of real-world scenes with 3D control;

(3) Large-scale 3D scene generation.
