PhD Student at rice university

Yuhao Liu

About

I am currently a 4th-year Ph.D. student at Rice University advised by Prof. Ashok Veeraraghavan and Prof. Guha Balakrishnan. My research is in the field of computational imaging, at the intersection of computer vision, deep learning, and novel image sensors. Currently, I am focusing on utilizing computer vision and imaging devices to better understand global climate. 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 and developed a model that utilizes single-photon cameras and deep learning to achieve high dynamic range imaging.
