Dr Michael Yang

Michael’s research is in the fields of Visual Computing and Computer Vision with specialisation on Scene Understanding, Multimodal Learning, Deep Generative Models. Scene understanding involves enabling computers to interpret and analyse visual data, such as images or videos, to recognise objects, people, and activities within complex environments. One recent research focus is on developing AI models for 3D scene synthesis, a rapidly growing field driven by the demand for realistic virtual environments in applications such as gaming, AR/VR, and robotics. The goal is to push the boundaries of current techniques to improve the realism, diversity, and practical usability of generated 3D scenes for real-world applications.

Research interests: 

  • 3D scene synthesis
  • Scene graph generation
  • Multimodal learning
