Biography

Hi! I am Bingyuan Wang, a Ph.D. candidate in the Computational Media and Arts (CMA) Thrust at HKUST(GZ), supervised by Prof. Zeyu Wang and Prof. Qifeng Chen. I am currently a Research Scientist Intern at Adobe Research London, working with Dr. Yulia Gryaditskaya.

With an interdisciplinary background in Electronic Engineering (B.S.) and Chinese Language and Literature (B.A.) from Peking University, I strive to understand, integrate, and reimagine traditional aesthetics and contemporary humanities through cutting-edge AI technologies.

My current research lies at the intersection of Generative AI, Affective Computing, Immersive Storytelling, and Cultural Heritage. I am passionate about unleashing the synergistic potential between Generative Models and human creativity, particularly in immersive, affective, and artistic visual content generation.
