Bingxuan Li | 李秉轩
Hi! I am a second-year Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at NYU,
advised by
Prof. Qi Sun
in the
Immersive Computing Lab.
My research interests are at the intersection of deep learning and computer graphics,
focusing on 3D understanding, reconstruction, and generation.
Recently, I have been working on physics-informed monocular depth estimation,
pushing toward a better trade-off between size and accuracy in depth cameras.
My goal is to enable compact and power-efficient depth sensing for size-sensitive scenarios
such as AR glasses, small robotics, mobile devices, and wearable systems.
Prior to NYU, I received my Bachelor's degree with honors from
Turing Class
,
Peking University
.
During my undergraduate years, I was honored to be advised by
Prof. Sheng Li and
Prof. Lingqi Yan.
