Yanwei Fu is a professor  at the School of Data Science, Fudan University, Shanghai China.

He is  Professor of Eastern Scholar, Shanghai (上海高校特聘教授 – 东方学者), 1000 young scholar (青千)，and ARC DECRA fellow.

Research interests

He is interested in the following ML/CV topics (with the corresponding selected papers from my Project page):

1, Learning from small samples by exploring the Statistical sparsity

• Statistical Sparsity: Lasso-type ML methods
• One/Few-shot/Supervised learning by statistical methods

2, Learning based 3D/4D object/body Reconstruction and Robotic Grasping;

• 4D Object Mesh sequence reconstruction from videos/point clouds
• 6DoF Object Pose Estimation Robotic Grasping

3, AIGC, Foundation Models.

• AIGC for 3D models: Foundation to generated 3D pointcloud or meshes of objects
• Mind-Visualization: visualizing fMRI into images
• Foundation models for Image Manipulation and Editing
• RobotGPT: ChatGPT enabling the Robot Tasks

关于本组招生：大数据学院科学硕士及直博生是统一招生（而不是分配给导师名额）。所以感兴趣我们组的话，可以直接去申请拿到学院的offer，再联系我即可。申请普博或者Oversea students想来我们组做summer intern的话，可以提前联系我。 大家有兴趣联系我们，可以email联系我。 有兴趣做statistical sparsity的本科同学，可以直接联系孙鑫伟老师，我们可以一起合作。

**注意：本组暂时不在招收2025年9月份入学的类脑院的硕士和博士。有意向做相关研究的类脑院同学，可以联系公维康老师。 **
