Siyuan Li

I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta, advised by Dr. Li Cheng and Dr. Xingyu Li.

My research focuses on 3D and 4D reconstruction and generation, particularly on recovering the shape, appearance, and motion of dynamic objects from monocular in-the-wild videos. Recently, I have been working on 4D animal reconstruction using 3D Gaussian Splatting.

Before starting my Ph.D., I worked at Tencent ARC on video understanding, depth estimation, and image enhancement. I received my M.Eng. from Harbin Institute of Technology through a joint graduate program with Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), and my B.Eng. from SUSTech.

Featured Project

Progressive Pose-Guided 4D Animal Reconstruction from Monocular Video

Siyuan Li, Weiying Chen, Yilin Wang, Xinxin Zuo, Xingyu Li, Li Cheng

A progressive test-time optimization framework for reconstructing high-fidelity 4D animals from a single monocular video. The method disentangles articulated pose and non-rigid deformation, generalizing across species with strong visual fidelity.
