Greetings! This is Shuang Liang | 梁爽

B.S. WHU (2020–2024) Ph.D. HKU (2024–Present)

I’m a second-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Hong Kong. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Han Wang. Before HKU, I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from School of Physics and Technology, Wuhan University, advised by Prof. Shengjun Yuan and Prof. Shunping Zhang. I also spent a wonderful time as a research intern at Rama Alpaca Technology Company under the supervision of Dr. Guo Zhang and in collaboration with Prof. Yingcong Chen and Prof. Yuan Yuan in the last semester of my undergraduate study. We have maintained a strong and frequent research collaboration ever since.

My research focuses on computer vision, multimodal representation learning, and hardware-efficient AI. I build robust, transferable, and efficient intelligent systems across perception, representation, and deployment.

Generative Priors for Robust Perception

Robust Perception and Reasoning

Leveraging large-scale generative models as foundation priors to improve robustness, generalization, and reasoning under challenging real-world conditions.

Multimodal Representation Learning

Unified and Transferable Latent Spaces

Designing stable, scalable, and transferable representations that generalize across modalities, downstream tasks, and data regimes.

Hardware Acceleration

Algorithm-Hardware Co-design

Developing efficient models under low-bit, sparse, and hardware-constrained settings, aligned with emerging computing paradigms and practical deployment needs.
