林晉暘

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), advised by Prof. Yu-Lun Liu and Prof. Wei-Chen Chiu. I am also working as an imaging engineer intern at Logitech, where I focus on GPU image quality enhancement.

Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), where I double-majored in Computer Science and Geomatics. During this time, I also worked as a Research Assistant at the HDMap Center under the supervision of Prof. Kai-Wei Chiang.

Research

My research lies at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and 3D geometry. I focus on enabling machines to perceive and reconstruct the 3D world with efficiency, accuracy, robustness, and scalability, using learning-based methods that improve with data and computation. I am passionate about building real-time 3D reconstruction systems that generalize effectively in the real world.
