Piji Li is a professor and researcher based in Shenzhen with 11 years of experience specializing in C++, computer graphics, and computer vision. After a Ph.D. from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and advanced degrees from Shandong University, he moved between industry and academia—most recently joining Nanhang University following a senior researcher role at Tencent AI Lab. He co-founded a startup (LpNorm) and has hands-on product R&D experience at Baidu and consumer AI firms, blending research rigor with real-world deployment. His work spans low-level systems and visual computing, making him comfortable both implementing high-performance C++ code and leading algorithmic research. Notably, his profile signals a persistent focus on bridging academic innovations with commercial AI products, rather than purely theoretical pursuits. He maintains a public presence (lipiji.com) that reflects an active engagement with both research and engineering communities.
