Yicheng Wu is a senior applied scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of computer vision, computational photography, and vision-language models, currently advancing multimodal research at Amazon. His work blends deep academic rigor—a PhD from Rice University and high-impact internships at Google and Microsoft—with hands-on product-focused research from Snap on AR and computational photography. He has published on practical imaging problems like single-image lens flare removal and brings a strong physics background from a top-scoring bachelor's degree in physics. Based in Houston, Yicheng is effective at translating novel imaging and vision research into scalable, production-ready models for real-world applications.
