Hi there👋 I’m Wenda Shi, research assistant at AiDLab (PolyU) under the supervision of Prof. Calvin Wong and Dr. Xingxing Zou.

Recently, I am fortunate to work closely with Yiren and Dr. Liu. My research interests focus on GenAI in fashion and design, including 2D/3D generation and PEFT of the generative model.

Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss, collaborate, or say hello. 😊

“Everything ‘creative’ is a remix of things that happened in the past, plus epsilon and times the quality of the feedback loop and the number of iterations.” — Sam Altman

\[\text{Creative} = (\text{Remix of Past} + \epsilon) \times (\textbf{Feedback} + \textbf{Iteration})\]
