Jiefeng Li (李杰锋)

I'm a Research Scientist in the Data-Drive AI for Robotics (DAIR) team at NVIDIA Research. I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2024. I was a member of SJTU MVIG lab under the supervision of Prof. Cewu Lu. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor degree of Electronic Engineering in 2018 and Master degree of Computer Science in 2020 from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

I'm interested in computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. My current research mainly lies in digital human and robotics.
