Changjian Li (李昌健)
Assistant Professor
Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour (IPAB) |
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. I have a board range of research interests in 3D Shape Creation and Analysis with applications in Sketch-based Modeling, Shape Reconstruction and Analysis from Point Clouds, and Medical Image Processing and Modeling. For sketch-based modeling (my representative line of research), we have recently developed two systems for easier CAD modeling by combining the advanced neural network and traditional optimization, where we translate intuitive sketches into CAD programs that greatly facilitate the downstream applications.
Before joining University of Edinburgh, I worked at Inria as a Starting Researcher working with Dr. Adrien Bousseau and did my postdoc in the Smart Geometry Processing Group at University College London (UCL) working with Prof. Niloy Mitra. I got my Ph.D. degree from the University of Hong Kong in 2019 supervised by Prof. Wenping Wang and got my Bachelor degree from Shandong University in 2014.
Accepting Students: I am looking for highly motivated students, feel free to drop me an email with your CV.
• We are recruiting a Postdoc working on Generative AI, here is the link for more details. Happy to chat via email.
