Lili Meng
Hi, I'm Lili! Thanks for visiting my website!
​
I'm a research scientist at Xtract Technologies and a postdoc fellow at University of British Columbia Computer Science Department working with Prof. Leonid Sigal and Prof. Eldad Haber on deep learning and computer vision. I worked with Prof. Kilian Weinberger in Cornell University on Bayesian optimization and deep learning as a visiting scientist.
​
I recently graduated as a Ph.D. on Robotics from the Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems at the University of British Columbia. I have been working with Prof. Clarence W. de Silva, Prof. James J. Little and Prof. Ian M. Mitchell. Please see my publication lists for more details on my PhD work.
