Call for interns

I am looking for Ph.D. research interns with a background in generative models and/or multimodal learning during summer 2024 and beyond. Each internship targets 1+ top-tier publications, has the potential to transfer to real features in Salesforce AI-empowered products, and is followed by full-time opportunities. Please email me your C.V. The hiring is rolling-based.

About me

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Salesforce Research. My research aspirations lie in computer vision and visual security, with a focused lens at the bright/dark sides of multimodal generative models and vision-language learning. I hold a Ph.D. from the joint program with the University of Maryland and Max Planck Institute for Informatics where I was supervised by Larry Davis and Mario Fritz. I previously worked with NVIDIA Research and Adobe Research.

My selected works include UniControl, ULIP-2, LayoutDETR, GlueGen, HIVE, Contrast and Attention GANs, Scalable GAN Fingerprints, Artificial GAN Fingerprints, GAN Fingerprints, Inclusive GAN, Texture Mixer, and Defect Detection. My research was featured in media press such as Salesforce Newsletter, AlmostHuman, AIera, JiangMen, QbitAI, innovations report, and FoodPlus.

I am constantly dedicated to academic services, such as serving as area chair for CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI, AISTATS, WACV, and BMVC.

I am a recipient of Twitch (Amazon) Research Fellowship, Microsoft Young Fellowship, Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Finalist x2, and SPIE Best Student Paper Finalist.
