Brief Bio

I am Zhuoyuan Li. I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), supervised by Prof. Kenneth Kin-man Lam. I received the B.E. degree from Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU), Sichuan, China, in 2020, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, China, supervised by Prof. Feng Wu and Prof. Dong Liu. During my Ph.D., my research focused on image/video coding, with an emphasis on both advanced coding standards (e.g., H.266/VVC, AV2, ECM) and emerging learning-based coding frameworks (e.g., DVC, DCVC). My work spans inter prediction, in-loop filtering, and low-complexity optimization, aiming to improve coding efficiency while maintaining practical deployability. Meanwhile, I lead the traditional coding study group of our USTC-iVC lab, where I have coordinated and guided a series of projects on standardized and neural network-based coding tools. In addition, I have conducted research in computational imaging and image/video restoration, including compression-aware restoration, light field imaging, and event-based vision, further broadening the scope of my expertise from efficient coding to advanced visual sensing and reconstruction.
