George Z. Wei (魏治鸿)
I'm a 2nd year MSR at Carnegie Mellon University advised by Prof. László Jeni working on 3D/4D reconstruction and multimodal benchmarking.
Previously, I was a Research Scientist/Engineer Intern at Adobe Research mentored by Krishna Mullia, where I worked on high-resolution and HDR Gaussian Splatting.
Before that, I was an AI Resident at Meta in FAIR advised by Dr. Satwik Kottur. There I worked on egocentric video-language modeling and long egocentric video understanding.
I completed my undergrad at UMass Amherst in Computer Science and Statistics. There, I worked on the Alexa Prize Taskbot Challenge under the supervision of Prof. Hamed Zamani on In-Task question answering. Also, I was advised by Prof. Mohit Iyyer and Prof. Ina Fiterau on my Honor Thesis examining vision-language pretrained models. During the Summer of 2021, I was fortunate enough to attend REU CAAR working under Prof. John Dickerson and Prof. Tom Goldstein on facial detection/recognition bias and robustness.
