About Me

Hi, I'm Zhengyao Lv, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Kenneth K.Y. Wong.

Before joining HKU, I received my M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Computer Science from Harbin Institute of Technology, supervised by Prof. Wangmeng Zuo.

I have also worked closely with Prof. Chenyang Si on research in visual content generation.

My research focuses on high-quality and efficient visual content generation.
