Changhao Shi

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), advised by Gal Mishne. My research covers a broad range of machine learning/computer vision problems, and sometimes their application in neuroscience. I am particularly interested in generative models, from traditional statistical modeling to deep generative models such as variational autoencoders (VAEs) and diffusion models (DMs). Currently I am working on the intersection of probablistic graphical modeling and graph signal processing. Previously, I obtained my bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering from Beihang University (former BUAA). I also interned at NEC Lab America.
