Assistant Professors Ismini Lourentzou and Yaoyao Liu, along with students from their labs, will present their research at the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), held in Denver, Colorado, from June 3–7. CVPR is the flagship annual meeting of IEEE/CVF and PAMI-TC, where researchers present their latest advances in computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence, both in theory and practice.
Liu received the CVPR 2026 Outstanding Area Chair award.
