Email: yulun100@gmail.com

I am a tenure-track associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Computer Vision Lab, ETH Zürich, Switzerland. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Northeastern University, USA, in Aug. 2021. Before that I received my master degree from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, China, in Jul. 2017 and B.E degree from School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University, China, in Jul. 2013. I was an intern or visiting student at Adobe Research, Harvard University, Nanyang Technological University, The University of Sydney, and Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, CAS.

My research interest broadly includes machine learning and computer vision. Specifically, I focus on image/video restoration (e.g., super-resolution, denoising, deblurring), synthesis (e.g., style transfer, texture transfer), biomedical image enhancement and analysis, deep model compression (e.g., network pruning, quantization), computational imaging (e.g., spectral compressive imaging), multimodal learning, large language model, efficient diffusion model, etc. I am/was an Area Chair for CVPR’(2023-2025), ICCV’2023, ECCV’2024, NeurIPS’(2023-2024), ICLR’(2024-2025), ICML’2024, ACM MM’2024, IJCAI’2024, PRCV’2024 and Senior Program Committee (SPC) member for IJCAI’(2021-2023), AAAI’(2023-2025).

Openings: We are looking for self-motivated undergraduate interns, graduate students, and PostDocs to join our group. If you are interested, please email me with your resume and transcript. You can also refer to CSRankings for CV, ML, and AI ranking information.
