Jingyun Liang
I am currently a Senior Research Scienist at Adobe Research , Seattle. Before this, I worked at Alibaba as an Algorithm Expert, after graduation from the Computer Vision Lab , ETH ZΓΌrich . During my PhD, I was under the supervision of Prof. Luc Van Gool and Prof. Radu Timofte . My research is focused on visual generation and low-level vision, such as image and video generation/ editing / restoration.
