About Me
I am currently pursuing my PhD degree in the Department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong. Before that, I received my B.Eng. and Ph.D. degree from Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2021 and 2026. My research lies at the intersection of Computer Vision, Image Generation, and World Model.
Open to collaboration. I am actively seeking like-minded collaborators. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to contact me via email: guoyu65896@gmail.com.
Research Overview
Visual Understanding and Generation
Study visual understanding and generation with VLM/LLM models, spanning multimodal representation learning, instruction-following generation, and world modeling for interactive and embodied scenarios.
Image Restoration
Develop robust and efficient image restoration models for real-world degradations (e.g., low-light, haze, rain, and composite degradations), with an emphasis on generalization, controllability, and practical deployment.
