Yichen Sheng

Incoming research scientist in NVIDIA research. I worked with Bedrich Benes and obtained my PhD at Purdue CS in 2024. I am interested in computer graphics and computer vision problems. To be specific, I am trying my best to make images look better by marrying computational methods and AI.
