Weili Nie

I am a Senior Research Scientist in Fundamental Generative AI Research Team at NVIDIA Research. I got my PhD from the ECE Department at Rice University, advised by Ankit B. Patel. Prior to joining Rice, I got my BS degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) and MS degree from Southeast University. During my PhD studies, I have done several internships at NVIDIA Research and VMware Research.

Research

My current research mainly focuses on deep generative models and their applications to real-world problems. I have also been working on model robustness and compositional generalization.

I'm looking for research interns to work on both fundamental and applied aspects of deep generative models.
