Hi, I am Liangbing Zhao. You can also call me Liam. I am currently a first-year PhD student at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where I also earned my Master’s degree. I am privileged to be advised by Prof. Mohamed Elhoseiny.

Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies under the supervision of Prof. Si Liu. I also spent time as a research intern at Meitu Inc. with Dr. Xuecheng Nie.

Research Interests

• Generative Models: Advancing and applying generative models, such as diffusion models, flow matching, and autoregressive models, with a focus on improving their architectures and exploring innovative applications.
• Unified Models: Developing models that bridge generative and understanding tasks, with an emphasis on leveraging understanding capabilities to enhance generative performance.

🔥 I am actively looking for a research internship in Summer 2026. Please feel free to reach out if you are hiring! 🔥
