Tianyu Bell Pan (潘天钰)

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) (Advisor: Dr. Damon Woodard) at the University of Florida, affiliated with Florida Institute for National Security (FINS) and Applied Artificial Intelligence Group (AAIG). I hold an MS degree in ECE and MA degree in Economics (IO) from University of Florida.

My research focuses on multimodal learning, particularly in computer vision. This includes areas such as training (primarily pre-training and structured representation learning), information retrieval, optimization, and reinforcement learning. The tools I utilize are mainly from information theory, control theory, and geometric measure theory.
