Yuhao Liu
About
I am currently a 5th-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University, advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan and Prof. Guha Balakrishnan. I am part of the Computational Imaging Lab and Rice Visual Intelligence Group. My research aims to leverage modern computer vision and machine learning techniques to tackle pressing challenges at the intersection of environmental hazards and public health. I worked as a research intern at the Mobile Processor Innovation Lab at Samsung Research America in 2024.
Before coming to Rice, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics. During my undergrad, I worked with Prof. Andreas Velten on computational imaging systems, focusing on high dynamic range imaging via single-photon cameras.
