Shengqu Cai 「蔡盛曲」

I'm a second-year CS PhD student at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Gordon Wetzstein and Prof. Leonidas Guibas, affliated with Computational Imaging Lab and Geometric Computing Lab. I am partly supported by a Stanford School of Engineering Fellowship.

Before Stanford, I was a CS master student at ETH Zürich supervised by Prof. Luc Van Gool. I obtained my Bachelor degree in Computer Science with first honour from King's College London in United Kingdom, where I spent some time working on information theory.

In 2022, I spent a few wonderful months working on diffusion with Eric Chan and Songyou Peng. I started my research career back in 2021 working on NeRFs and GANs with Anton Obukhov. I consider them as mentors coming into research and who I try to learn from.

I am interested in solving graphics or inverse graphics tasks that are fundamentally ill-posed via traditional methods, slay the unslayable. I have been working primarily around neural rendering and generative models, including but not limited to diffusion models, inverse rendering, unsupervised learning methods, scene representations, etc. I like making cool theories, videos, demos and applications.
