Liyuan Zhu 朱力源

I am a second-year PhD student in Gradient Spaces Group, Stanford University, mainly advised by Iro Armeni and co-advised by Gordon Wezstein. Before this, I obtained my master's at ETH Zurich, working with Konrad Schindler and Shengyu Huang. Previously, I did my undergrad at Wuhan University.
My long-term research goal is bridging reconstruction and generation for the 3D built environments. Feel free to shoot me an email to discuss research if you are interested.
