Biography

Hi, I am Yun He, a second-year CS PhD student at the University of Maryland, College Park, advised by Prof. Matthias Zwicker. I recieved my master's degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2023, co-advised by Prof. Yanwei Fu and Prof. Xiangyang Xue. During my master's studies, I also collaborated closely with Dr. Danhang Tang and Dr. Yinda Zhang at Google. In 2020, I obtained my bachelor's degree in computer science from Chongqing University. My primary research interests include: (1) Multimodal Agents, with a focus on driving scene editing and indoor scene synthesis; (2) 3D Vision, specifically Gaussian Splatting-based 3D reconstruction.

Experience

 
 
 
 
 
Research Intern
May 2025 – Dec 2025 San Jose, CA
  • Introduce an agentic framework for driving scene editing, which supports both object level editing (removal, insertion, and replacement) and multi-object behavior editing.
  • Achieve both high controllability and strong realism by combining explicit modular agents with diffusion-based refinement.
 
 
 
 
 
Research Assistant
Jan 2021 – Mar 2022, Sep 2022 – Nov 2022 Shanghai, China
  • Propose a new framework for accurate point cloud upsampling that supports arbitrary upsampling rates.
  • Introduce a novel deep point cloud compression method that preserves local density.
