Wenqing Wang
I am Wenqing Wang (王文青), a CS PhD candidate at Khoury College of Computer Sciences, Northeastern University. I am advised by Prof. Yun Raymond Fu (Member of the Academy of Europe, European Academy of Sciences and Arts, ACM; Fellow of UAI, AAAS, AAAI, IEEE; etc.), and I am a member of the SMILE Lab. I earned my B.S. in Computer Science and B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Davis.
My research interests span computer vision, generative AI, and
general AI. In particular, I focus on
generative AI [world modeling, image/video generation & understanding, diffusion, VLM/VLA/LLM];
neural rendering [NeRF, Gaussian Splatting, 3D novel-view synthesis]; and
general AI [ML, brain-inspired algorithms, AI-driven longevity/health, AI-cosmology, autonomous driving].
I am always open to collaboration.
Actively seeking internship opportunities.
