Summary
Yaoyao Liu is an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign whose research bridges computer vision and machine learning with a focus on continual, few-shot, and data-efficient visual systems. With a PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and postdoctoral experience at Johns Hopkins, she combines rigorous academic training with international research stints at Oxford, NUS, and Saarbrücken. Her work spans generative and 3D geometry models to medical imaging and semi-supervised learning, aiming to make visual AI more adaptable over time and scarce data regimes. Known for curiosity-driven collaboration, she brings 12 years of experience and an interdisciplinary affiliation network across computing, data science, and supercomputing centers. An understated detail: her GitHub bio—"all animals are equal"—hints at a principled, egalitarian approach to research and open science.
