Yi Wang      ηŽ‹ η₯Ž

Hello! I’m Yi Wang, a first-year PhD student at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) supervised by Prof. Wenqi FAN. Before that, I received my master's and bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Central South University (CSU) supervised by Prof. Anfeng Liu.

My research focuses on Artificial Intelligence, especially Multi-Modal Large Language Models, 3D Vision, and Human Pose Estimation.
