Liyuan Zhu 朱力源

I am a first-year PhD student in Gradient Spaces Group, Stanford SDSS, advised by Iro Armeni. I work at the intersection of 3D vision and built environments. Before this, I obtained my master's at ETH Zurich, working with Konrad Schindler, Iro Armeni, and Shengyu Huang. I am interested in 3D vision, and spatial computing, and using them to solve interesting problems. I enjoy playing badminton, swimming, and skiing in my spare time.
