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

Recently, I’m fortunate to work closely with Yiren and Dr. Liu. My research interests focus on GenAI in fashion and design, including post-training of 2D/3D generative models.

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

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