Yichen Sheng

I am a research scientist in NVIDIA. I was fortunate to work with Prof. Bedrich Benes and Jianming Zhang and obtained my PhD at Purdue CS in 2024.

In general, I am interested in CV/CG problems. My mission is to create a photorealistic virtual world. Currently I focus on neural rendering and creating a digital twin for real world.

I am open to collaborations and internships. Please feel free to reach out to me if we have common interest.
