Yuanbo Li

I am a CS master incoming CS Ph.D student at Brown University. Before that, I graduated from Columbia University with B.A in Mathematics. I am very fortunate to work with Prof. Daniel Ritchie and Prof. James Tompkin at Brown Visual Computing Lab .

In my free time, I enjoy visiting museums and cycling. I have a strong interest in Renaissance arts and Dutch paintings.

Research Interests

My research interest lies in the intersection of Computer Graphics and Artificial Intelligence . My long-term goal is to develop computational tools that empower individuals to unleash their creativity and produce visually captivating and aesthetically pleasing content.

Ongoing Research
AR Label Visualizations
Advised by Prof. James Tompkin, Brown Visual Computing

We propose a method to add labels to a dynamic background. I worked writing Unity shaders, and using neural networks to predict label pixel colors.
