Chongyi Li

Professor at Nankai University

I am currently a Professor in the College of Computer Science at Nankai University, where I lead the π Research Group, and concurrently serve as a Professor at Shenzhen Loop Area Institute (SLAI).

Before joining Nankai University, I served as a Research Assistant Professor and Postdoctoral Researcher at MMLab@NTU and S-Lab, Nanyang Technological University, working closely with Prof. Chen Change Loy. I was also a Postdoctoral Researcher at City University of Hong Kong, where I worked closely with Prof. Sam Kwong.

I received my Ph.D. from Tianjin University and completed joint doctoral training at the Australian National University, working closely with Prof. Fatih Porikli. My research interests span computational imaging, image enhancement and restoration, generative vision, multimodal models, and visual intelligence. I aim to build reliable visual systems that understand, restore, and create images and videos under real-world conditions.

Open positions. I welcome prospective students, postdoctoral researchers, and collaborators interested in computer vision, imaging, and generative AI. Please get in touch by email with a short introduction and your CV.
