Yanyi Zhang

Hey there! I’m a Ph.D. student at Michigan State University, where I am working under the guidance of Prof. Xiaoming Liu. My research interests are predominantly in Computer Vision and Generative AI, with a specific emphasis on Compositionality and Concept Learning. I am passionate about exploring these areas to contribute to advancements in the field. Previously, I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Yu Liu and Prof. Qi Jia at Dalian University of Technology.
