Yiqian Wu Cat

I am Yiqian Wu (吴奕谦), a fourth-year CS Ph.D. candidate at the State Key Laboratory of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University, where I have been conducting research under the supervision of Prof. Xiaogang Jin since 2021. From May 2024 to April 2025, I was an academic guest at ETH Zurich, collaborating with Prof. Siyu Tang. I received my B.S. degree in Computer Science and Technology from the Chu Kochen College at Zhejiang University in 2021.

Research Overview

My current research focuses on avatar editing and generation. I have explored 2D GAN-based portrait editing, developed datasets and novel architectures for 3D-aware face GANs, and worked on text-guided 3D and 4D avatar generation using diffusion models.

Below is an overview that showcases all of my papers through a single identity!
