About me:

I am Bin Ren, a visiting PhD student at the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology (INSAIT) starting in March 2024 under the supervision of Dr. Danda Pani Paudel, and Prof. Dr. Luc Van Gool. I am also a third-year Ph.D. student in the Italian National Artificial Intelligence Program co-organized by the University of Pisa and the University of Trento advised by Prof. Dr. Nicu Sebe and Prof. Dr. Rita Cucchiara.

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and deep learning. I have recently focused primarily on low-level vision and 3D point cloud understanding. Specifically, I am eager to develop foundational models for these areas.
