Yuezun Li's Homepage

I am an Associate Professor at Ocean University of China. My research focuses on multimedia forensics and computer vision. I have published numerous top-tier papers with a total of , including several works with more than citations each (CVPR20, CVPRW19, ICASSP19, WIFS18). The WIFS18 paper was also featured on CCTV13’s "World Weekly" special on deepfakes [7:43]. I have been recognized on Stanford’s 2023/2024/2025 list of the top 2% of scientists worldwide and am a recipient of the 2024 ACM Qingdao Rising Star Award. [中 CN]

I was a Senior Research Scientist at University at Buffalo, SUNY, working with Siwei Lyu (SUNY Distinguished Professor). I was a summer intern at GE glocal research center during 2016 - 2018. I received Ph.D. degree in computer science at University at Albany, SUNY in 2020, advised by Siwei Lyu (IEEE/IAPR/AAIA Fellow). I received M.S. degree in 2015 and B.S. degree in 2012 at Shandong University.
