About Me

Hi, I’m Yuan Li, a PhD student at UT Dallas specializing in geometry processing, computer graphics, and solving geometric challenges in medical and scientific applications. My work has been published in CVPR, AAAI, IJCAI, and CGF. I hold a Master’s degree from Zhejiang University, where I leveraged Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for complex geometric problems, and a Bachelor’s from Central South University, where I explored Ricci flow to solve geometric problems in GIS.

I am actively seeking internship opportunities in AIGC and AI for Science.

Skills & Hobbies
Technical Skills
Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow

Proficient in using PyTorch and TensorFlow. Enjoy using Python as a glue language to build user-friendly and high-performance systems.

Geometric Processing

Familiar with the algorithms of geometric processing.

Hobbies
seeking tools to enhance work efficiency

I recommend using Tailscale to set up a virtual private network and deploying RustDesk on one computers in this network. It is faster, more stable, and free compared to alternatives like AnyDesk.
