I am a Researcher at INSAIT in Sofia, Bulgaria, working under the supervision of Prof. Luc Van Gool. My research focuses on 3D scene understanding with a particular emphasis on indoor environments. Previously, I earned my Master of Research in AI and Machine Learning at Imperial College London, where I explored computer vision, camera relocalization, and geometry-based machine learning under the guidance of Dr. Tolga Birdal. I also hold a B.Sc. in Automation from Beijing Institute of Technology. Additionally, I am an active member of AnySyn3D, a research group dedicated to advancing 3D technologies. My current research interests include 3D computer vision, NeRFs, Gaussian Splatting, and comprehensive scene understanding.
I was a computer vision researcher at DISCOVER Lab, Institute of AI Industry Research, Tsinghua University, working on Neural Radiance Fields, Scene Understanding and Camera Relocalization, supervised by Prof. Zhao Hao.

Runyi Yang*, Ren Bin*, Qi Ma, Xu Zheng, Mengyuan Liu, Danda Pani Paudel, Luc Van Gool, Rita Cucchiara, Nicu Sebe ICLR 2026 We revisit attention mechanisms for all-in-one image restoration and identify two bottlenecks in Restormer-style backbones: linear value paths limit expressivity and missing global slots hinder degradation context. We propose two minimal, backbone-agnostic primitives to address these issues. openreview |
