Lu Ming

I am a research scientist at AI Research Lab (AIRL), Intel Labs, where I work on Fundamental Visual AI (FVAI) techniques (visual synthesis and visual understanding). I did my Ph.D focused on computer graphics and 3D vision at Tsinghua University, where I was advised by Prof. Zhang Li.

I'm especially interested in AI + Chips (ISP/Codec/GPU/etc.), Neural Field (NeRF/3DGS/3D Occupancy/etc.), and Large AI Models (SAM/Diffusion Model/LLaVA/etc.).

I'm also interested in applying FVAI techniques to autonomous driving, embodied AI, and AI4Science.
