Desai Xie (Ph.D. Candidate)
Department of Computer Science, Stony Brook University

I am a sixth-year student in the Computer Science Ph.D./M.S. program at Stony Brook University, and a member of the Visualization Lab under Prof. Arie Kaufman. My research focuses on scalable training of visual foundation models.

Specifically, I work on pre-training data, reward-based post-training, and long-sequence inference spanning 3D and video generation. My current interests include video generation and video world models.

Before joining SBU I earned a B.S. in Computer Science from Lehigh University in 2020. Here is the [instgram] of my cat Purrari.
