Brief Bio
I am Zhuoyuan Li (Milk). I received the B.E. degree in Communication Engineering from the Southwest Jiaotong University, Sichuan, China, in 2020. I am currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Information and Communication Engineering with University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, China, supervised by Prof. Feng Wu and Prof. Dong Liu. I also worked closely with Prof. Li Li and many good friends from USTC-iVC && VIDAR lab. My research interests include areas of Traditional Image/Video Coding, learned image/video compression and image/video processing, particularly for topics related to Inter Prediction, Intra Prediction, In-Loop Filtering, and Deep Learning-based Coding Tools in traditional codecs (H.266/VVC, AV2, H.265/HEVC).
