About Me
Hi, I'm Xi Fang. I completed my PhD in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I was advised by Pingkun Yan, and received my bachelor's degree from the School of Computer Science at Wuhan University, where I worked with Bo Du.
I am currently a machine learning engineer at Noah Medical. My earlier experience includes AI and computer vision research internships at Infervision, Tsinghua University's State Key Laboratory of Intelligent Technology and Systems, and the Immersive Media Lab of Tencent America.
Technical & Research Focus
I build computer vision and multimodal ML systems for robotics, medical imaging, and deployable real-world applications, with a focus on turning strong research into deployable systems, supported by publications, technical reports, and projects.
- Computer Vision: multi-view geometry, 3D reconstruction, NeRF, Gaussian splatting, implicit neural representations, and perception tasks such as segmentation, detection, and registration.
- Robotics Learning: multimodal learning, motion transfer, VLMs, VLAs, world models, and deployable systems for robotics and embodied intelligence.
- Medical Image Analysis: clinically grounded methods for medical imaging, surgical planning, image analysis, in-context learning, and reliable decision support systems.
