Weiyun Jiang

I'm a PhD student at Rice University, where I work on imaging through turbulence. My PhD advisor is Ashok Veeraraghavan. I also collaborate closely with Chris Metzler. During the summer of 2024, I worked as a research intern at the Mobile Processor Innovation Lab at Samsung Research America.

I hold an MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, where I worked in Gordon Wetzstein's lab. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering from UC Santa Barbara, where I worked in Zheng Zhang's lab.

Research

I'm interested in computational imaging, imaging through turbulence, and machine learning. Some papers are highlighted.

Image Guidestar-Free Adaptive Optics with Asymmetric Apertures
Weiyun Jiang*, Haiyun Guo*, Christopher A. Metzler, Ashok Veeraraghavan
Manuscript, 2026
project page / arXiv

The first closed-loop adaptive optics system capable of real-time optical correction without the need for a guidestar or a specialized wavefront sensor.

Image NeRT: Implicit Neural Representations for General Unsupervised Turbulence Mitigation
Weiyun Jiang, Yuhao Liu, Vivek Boominathan, Ashok Veeraraghavan
