Hi!

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Humphrey Shi, where I focus on user-centric tasks within Vision-related fields. Previously, I earned my M.S. in 2021 and B.S. in 2020 from National Chiao Tung University, advised by Prof. Wen-Huang Cheng and Prof. Hong-Han Shuai. Until 2023, my research focused on Image and Video Synthesis and Editing in Fashion, particularly Virtual Clothing Try-on.

I am deeply passionate about developing Aritifical General Intellegence and leveraging its transformative potential to create impactful, user-centric solutions.

My works have been published in top-tier conferences and journals, including CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ACMMM, TNNLS, and ACM CSUR. I have served as an invited reviewer for CVPR, ECCV, NeurIPS, IEEE TNNLS, IEEE TMM, IEEE TCSVT, and ACM ToMM.

🤗 Feel free to contact me: 📩 cychenisme@gmail.com.
Let’s have a (virtual) coffee chat about interesting topics.
