Quankai Gao(郜泉凯)

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science department at the University of Southern California, advised by Prof.Ulrich Neumann. Before that, I earned a master's degree in computer science from USC and B.E. in Automation Science and Engineering from South China University of Technology.


My research interests lie at computer vision and computer graphics including 3D geometry, scene understanding and 3D human face analysis and generation.
