Qingtao Yu (Terry) · 于庆涛

PhD Student · Australian National University

I am a third-year PhD student at the Australian National University, supervised by Dylan Campbell, Hongdong Li, and Tongliang Liu. I expect to graduate in 2027.

My research focuses on generative models for computer vision, with a particular interest in enhancing and adapting foundation models at inference time for diverse downstream applications.

I grew up in Dalian, China.
