Yifan Wu

Boston University M.S., Boston University (2024)

Hi, I am currently an intern at Tencent, Timi Studio Group, focusing on AIGC research exploration. I obtained my Master's degree from Boston University, where I was supervised by Prof. Janusz Konrad and Prof. Brian Kulis. I received my B.Eng. degree with honors from Yangzhou University, under the supervision of Prof. Wei Jiang. I served as a research assistant at the CGVU Lab at The University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Taku Komura. My research interests lie in Graphics, AIGC, and World Models. I have previously worked on physical simulation, 3D reconstruction, and animation with UE5 and Unity. I am currently seeking a Ph.D. position for Fall 2026.
