I'm Yanwei Li (李彦玮), currently a Tenure-track Assistant Professor at School of Artificial Intelligence (SAI), Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Before that, I was a Senior Research Scientist on multi-modal model at ByteDance Seed, USA. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2024, supervised by Prof. Jiaya Jia. After my study, I was awarded the WAIC Yunfan Award (Rising Star) because of the research contributions.
My recent research focuses on Multi-modal Models and Generative AI for downstream tasks, including image/video generation, world model, and embodied AI for robotics. Some highlights include Seed 2.0, Seed 1.8, Seed 1.5-VL, LLaVA-OneVision, Mini-Gemini, LLaMA-VID, and LISA. See Google Scholar for a full list.
I'm always open to research collaborations. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in working together.
We are actively looking for self-motivated students and researchers to join our group. Our research focuses on next generation Multi-modal Models, World Modeling, and Embodied AI for Robotics. We engage in extensive collaborations with leading research institutions and industry partners, providing abundant computing resources and practical opportunities to students. We provide the following opportunities:
Ph.D. / Master: Openings are available through the SJTU graduate admissions process each year. Please email me your CV and a brief research statement at least 3–6 months before the application deadline. Prior collaboration on a project is strongly encouraged — it helps both of us understand each other's working style and significantly strengthens your application.
Research Interns: Welcome interns with strong programming skills and a genuine interest in research. Internships can be conducted remotely or on-site. Please send your CV along with a short description of your background and interests in the email.
To apply, please email me directly with the subject line [Position] Your Name – Institution - Grade.
我是李彦玮,目前在上海交通大学人工智能学院(SAI)担任长聘教轨助理教授。 此前,我在字节跳动 Seed (美国) 担任高级研究科学家,从事多模态基础模型研究,成果广泛应用于豆包多模态系列模型。 我于2024年在香港中文大学(CUHK)取得博士学位,导师为贾佳亚教授。 由于博士期间的研究贡献,我荣获 2025 年世界人工智能大会(WAIC)云帆奖。
我的研究聚焦于多模态基础模型与生成式 AI在下游任务中的应用,涵盖图像/视频生成、世界模型及具身智能机器人等方向。 近期代表性工作包括 Seed 2.0、 Seed 1.8、 Seed 1.5-VL、 LLaVA-OneVision、 Mini-Gemini、 LLaMA-VID 和 LISA 等。 完整论文列表请参见 Google Scholar。 如果您对我们的工作感兴趣,欢迎随时联系,期待与感兴趣的研究者开展合作。
