Hello! I'm

Zi-Yan Liu

I am currently a second-year master's student specializing in robotics at the University of Pennsylvania, under the guidance of Kostas Daniilidis at the GRASP lab.
My research interests are in the area of 3D computer vision, tracking, human pose estimation and event camera. Prior to this, I worked as a software intern at InstAI located in SanJose and gained experience as a software intern at Tron Future Technology.
