Hi, I am Liangbing Zhao. You can also call me Liam. I am currently a MS/PhD student at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), under the guidance of my advisor, Prof. Mohamed Elhoseiny. During my undergraduate years, I was supervised by Prof. Si Liu. I was also a research intern at Meitu Inc., where I worked on video diffusion models 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 integrate generative and understanding tasks, with an emphasis on leveraging understanding capabilities to enhance generative performance.
