Yang Cao 曹洋

Greetings! I'm Yang Cao, a Ph.D. student in HKUST supervised by Prof. Dan Xu.

Before that, I received my Master's Degree from Nankai University, supervised by Prof. Ming-Ming Cheng.

My recent research interests mainly focus on the topics which are interesting and have large application potential in the real world, like 3D vision, open-vocabulary perception and multi-modal learning, etc.

Constructive discussions and cooperations are welcome. Feel free to contact me via email.
