Summary
Lei Yang is a lecturer and researcher based in Hong Kong with seven years of experience at the intersection of deep learning, robotics, geometric modeling, and computer graphics. He transitioned from PhD studies in mechanical engineering to postdoctoral work and now faculty roles at The University of Hong Kong, where he develops novel 3D perception algorithms for robotics and mentors PhD students. His background includes hands-on research in sketch-based geometry fitting and industry collaboration as a research officer for garment production, reflecting a rare blend of academic rigor and applied, production-oriented problem solving. While rooted in computer vision, Lei’s work leverages mechanical and naval-architecture training to bring geometric and physical insight to learning-based models.
