Luchao Qi

I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I work on computer vision with Roni Sengupta.

I previously worked with Bardia Nezami during my time as a software engineer at ValtedSeq. Prior to that, I earned my M.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering and Data Science from Johns Hopkins University, where I was mentored by Brian Caffo. Earlier in my academic journey, I completed my B.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering at Northeastern University under the guidance of Ming Qian at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology.

MyTimeMachine: Personalized Facial Age Transformation
Luchao Qi, Jiaye Wu, Bang Gong, Annie N. Wang, David W. Jacobs, Roni Sengupta
Submitted
project page / arXiv / 🤗Paper of the Day / tweet

We personalize a pre-trained global aging prior using 50 personal selfies, allowing age regression (de-aging) and age progression (aging) with high fidelity and identity preservation.

Continual Learning of Personalized Generative Face Models with Experience Replay
Annie N. Wang, Luchao Qi, Roni Sengupta
WACV 2025
project page / arXiv

We introduce a continual learning problem of updating personalized 2D and 3D generative face models without forgetting past representations as new photos are regularly captured.

My3DGen: A Scalable Personalized 3D Generative Model
Luchao Qi, Jiaye Wu, Annie N. Wang, Shengze Wang, Roni Sengupta
WACV 2025
project page / arXiv / tweet

We personalize a pretrained GAN-based model (EG3D) using a few (~50) selfies of an individual without full finetuning, enabling scalable personalization in a real-world scenario.
