Greetings! I am Yiming Qian, currently a postdoc at Simon Fraser Univeristy, where I work with Prof. Yasutaka Furukawa. I obtained my PhD degree from the University of Alberta. My research interests lie in the intersection of computer vision, computer graphis and machine learning. Recently, I focus on reconstruction and generation of 3D environment by combining advances in physics, geometry, imaging, deep learning, etc.

Here is my CV and email: yiming_qian [!at!] sfu [!dot!] ca
