Hi, I’m Boyu LI
I am a Ph.D. student in the Division of Arts and Machine Creativity at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Hongbo Fu, co-supervised by Prof. Zeyu Wang. Prior to this, I was a master student at CISLab in the Computational Media and Arts Thrust at HKUST (Guangzhou), where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Zeyu Wang, co-supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Automation from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2023.
My main research interests lie at the intersection of Computer Vision, Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), and Computer Graphics, focusing on creativity support tools powered by Generative AI and 3D interaction in AR/VR environments. I am particularly interested in animation creation and 3D authoring systems that enhance human creativity and expressiveness. My works have been published in top-tier HCI and graphics venues, including ACM UIST, IEEE VR, ACM CSCW, IEEE TVCG, ACM CHI, and SIGGRAPH Asia. I also serve as a reviewer for major conferences such as CHI, IEEE VR, and CSCW, and as a Program Committee member for IUI, CHI.
Details are in my CV.
