Pengda Xiang

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Southern California (USC), working on Computer Vision and Computer Graphics. I finished my bachelor degree in Computer Science at IIIS (Yao Class, lead by Andrew Chi-Chih Yao), Tsinghua University.

My research interest currently lies in Computer Vision (3D & 2D), especially Generative Models.
