Hammond Liu
Legally known as 刘浩铭 (Haoming Liu).
I’m a Computer Science Ph.D. student at NYU Shanghai and NYU Tandon, advised by Professor Hongyi Wen in the MAPS Research Group. I also work closely with Professor Shengjie Wang. Prior to that, I did my undergrad at NYU Shanghai, where I started my research journey with Professor Li Guo. I obtained my B.S. degree in 2023 and graduated with the Dean’s Award in Computer Science, Data Science, and Engineering.
I’m broadly interested in generative modeling and representation learning. My goal is to understand state-of-the-art paradigms (e.g., diffusion, AR) from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, and to develop efficient, intuitive, and explainable alternatives.
Outside of research, my hobbies span a wide range of areas, including philosophy, music, language, and divination. I devote one hour each week to open conversations with junior students. Please feel free to email me if you’d like to discuss research or life. In today's meritocracy-driven society (where most people are rushing forward), it is also important to appreciate the experiences and scenery along the way.
