Senior🎓
Top SchoolXinyu Yang is a Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University with nine years of experience in computer vision and deep learning, holding a PhD from the University of Bristol. Their work spans academic research, teaching applied deep learning and image processing, and industry R&D—most notably projects automating sketch colorization and GAN-based face swapping at NetEase. Xinyu has applied computer vision to diverse domains from thermal home-performance assessment to self-supervised video representation, blending practical system-building with theoretical advances. Based in Lancaster, they combine hands-on implementation skills with mentoring experience and a track record of translating research prototypes into applied solutions. An underappreciated strength is their cross-disciplinary background—from electrical engineering through AI—enabling a pragmatic approach to both low-level image problems and high-level representation learning.
