Changyang Li

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at George Mason University (GMU). I work as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Design Computing and Extended Reality (DCXR) Group, advised by Prof. Lap-Fai Yu. Before joining GMU, I received my MCS degree in Computer Science at the University of Virginia, and BS degree in Computer Science at Beijing Institute of Technology.

My research interests include graphics, mixed reality, vision, human-computer interaction, and computational design. Specifically, I study generative social activity and human behavior/motion, and scene-aware AR/VR.

I am looking for research positions.
