Runpei Dong 董润沛

I am a final-year MS student in Computer Science at Xi’an Jiaotong University, under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Chi-Chih Yao. I collaborate closely with Prof. Kaisheng Ma and Prof. Li Yi at IIIS, Tsinghua University. I am also a research intern of the Foundation Model Group at Megvii Research (Face++), where I work with Prof. Xiangyu Zhang and Dr. Zheng Ge.

My recent research focuses on several areas, including Generative Modeling, Embodied AI (2D/3D/4D), Self-Supervised Learning, Foundation Models, and Multi/Cross-Modal Representation Learning. I enjoy working on interesting and cool things that fascinate me. I am enthusiastic about contributing to the research community and I support Slow Science.
