Cong Wei
I am a Ph.D. student at the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, supervised by Prof. Wenhu Chen. I interned at ModiFace (2022 with Dr. Brendan Duke and Irene). Before starting my Ph.D., I received my master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Toronto, where I was fortunately advised by Prof. Florian Shkurti. I also earned my bachelor’s degree in CS from UofT, with the privilege of being advised by Prof. David Duvenaud.
My research interests include:
Generative Models Designing more controllable methods for image, video, and 3D generation and editing.
Multimodal Learning Integrating world knowledge into multimodal LLMs for complex reasoning + Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
