Guanglei (Ian) Zhu

I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Computer Vision (MSCV) at CMU, with interests in CV, Multimodal Learning and LLMs. I have the privilege of working with Prof. Lei Li and Prof. Laszlo Jeni.

Before joining CMU, I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, where I collaborated with Prof. Animesh Garg.
