Zilu Li

Hi! I'm Zilu (李子璐), a senior at Cornell University majoring in Computer Science. My research focus revolves around computer vision, computer graphics, and neural fields. I'm fortunate to be working with Prof.Bharath Hariharan and Prof.Steve Marschner at Cornell. Currently, I am a visiting student researcher at Stanford University, working with Prof.Gordon Wetzstein and Dr.Guandao Yang

I'm applying to Ph.D. programs in Computer Vision and Computer Graphics this cycle!

Research

My research interest lies in the intersection of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning. These days, I'm interested in exploring how to use Neural Fields efficiently for different geometric computing problems. Such as solving PDEs and Integrals. I've also had experience working on Retrieval Systems.
