Xin (Lex) Lin 林鑫

Hi, I am Xin (Lex) Lin (林鑫), a Ph.D. student at UCSD, working with Distinguished Professor Dr. Truong Nguyen. I was a research intern at Insta360. I’m fortunate to work closely with Prof. Ming-Hsuan Yang, Prof. Lu Qi, Dr. Dizhe Zhang, Dr. Xiangtai Li, and Prof. Xinke Li.

My research interests mainly lie in 3D Vision, Video Generation, Panoramic Vision, and Low-Level Image Processing. I'm always happy to collaborate with graduate and undergraduate students, especially those from UCSD. I’m open to exploring a wide range of topics with others. Feel free to drop me an email if you’re interested!
