Xinyu Liu 刘新宇
I am a Postdoctoral researcher at iBUG Group, Imperial College London, working with Dr. Stavros Petridis and Prof. Maja Pantic. I got my Ph.D. degree in Department of Electronic Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Yixuan Yuan. I was a visiting Ph.D. at CVL Group, ETH Zurich, supervised by Prof. Ender Konokoglu. I got my Msc and Bsc at Control Science and Engineering Department, Harbin Institute of Technology. I focus on Efficient Deep learning, Generative AI Models, and Medical Image Analysis.
