Hi!

I am Yang Luo, a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at National University of Singapore advised by Yang You, where I also completed my master’s studies. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from Wuhan University supervised by Tieyun Qian.

My current research mainly focuses on video generation, large-scale deep learning optimization and efficient machine learning. I’m also eager to discuss intriguing research concepts and open to academic partnerships. If you’re interested in collaboration, feel free to reach out via email.
