Research for a better world.

I'm Yanwei Li (李彦玮), currently working as a Research Scientist on Foundation Model for Vision & Language at ByteDance, Seattle, USA. Before that, I obtained Ph.D degree in The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Jiaya Jia.

My research interest mainly focus on Multi-modality Foundation Model and Generative AI.
