Yuqian Zhou (周宇乾)
I am a senior research scientist and engineer at Adobe Research (Image-Language Org). I am also the core researcher and engineer of Remove Tool (Photoshop), and the tech lead of multiple generations of Generative Fill (Photoshop, Adobe Firefly). I received my Ph.D. from UIUC and was advised by Prof. Mark Hasegawa-Johnson. Before that, I was supervised by Prof. Thomas Huang(1936-2020). I was a research assistent at Image Formation and Processing Group IFP of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I received my Bachelor and Mphil. degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(HKUST), working at Neuromorphic Interactive System Lab (NISL) supervised by Prof. Bertram Shi.
My current research interests lie in generative AI, especially multi-modal media generation and editing. I am actively taking summer interns, please reach out if you are interested in working with us.
