About Me
My name is Yan Xu. Friends also call me Ryan. I am a Ph.D. student of CMU ECE Department advised by Prof. Kris Kitani. My research focus is camera pose estimation and 3D human pose estimation. Particularly, I am interested in combining the feature representation ability of neural networks with the precision of geometric optimization to develop pose estimation algorithms independent of dataset-specific training and can generalize to the in-the-wild setting. Application-wise, I feel excited about Auto-Driving and AR/VR/MR. So, thanks for visiting my page!
