Zhi (Mike) Li

I am a Ph.D. student at Computer Science Department at University of California, Los Angeles, supervised by Prof. Demetri Terzopoulos.
I received my master’s in Computer Science from University of California, Los Angeles, with a thesis on Embodied Multi-Agent Systems in 3D Environments, and my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Boston University.
My research lies in the intersection of Multimodality, Computer Vision, Multi-Agent Systems, and Robotics.
