Hi there! I’m currently a Researcher at Lenovo Research. I obtained my B.E. in Electronic Information Engineering from Xidian University in 2021, followed by a Master degree (Diplôme d’Ingénieur) in Multimedia Communications from Nantes Université, France in 2022. My research interests lie in Computer Vision, with a specific focus on Controllable Video/Image Generation and Editing. I previously have research experience in Video Compression (H265/VP9/AV1 Codec). I’m passionate about AIGC technology, feel free to contact me at xduzhangjiayu@163.com if you’d like to collaborate with me.
