Yipeng Gao

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Laurent Itti.

Previously, I obtained an M.S. degree at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and a B.E. degree at the South China University of Technology.

My research interests mainly lie around Computer Vision, with the goal of developing general and generalizable vision systems. Nowadays, I focus on vision-language foundation models and their applications. I believe it is an essential tool for facilitating people's interaction with modern vision systems and enhancing the quality of their lives. Now, I am committing to take a small step toward this vision.

I am always open to research discussions and collaborations :). Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
