Mingyang Xie 谢铭阳

I am currently a 4th year Ph.D. student at the University of Maryland, advised by Christopher Metzler. Previously, I obtained my Bachelor degree from Washington University in St. Louis, advised by Ulugbek Kamilov.

I am broadly interested in computer vision and machine learning, with a focus on computational photography and generative AI. I am actively looking for research internships for 2025.
