Yuheng Li

Hi! I am a research scientist at Adobe Research.
Before joining Adobe, I got my PhD in Computer Science from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2024, under the supervision Prof. Yong Jae Lee.

Generally, I am interested in controllable & multimodal image generation/ manipulation.
Feel free to contact me for collaboration.
