Lu Ling

I am Lu Ling, a PhD student in the IDEADs Lab and CGV Lab at Purdue University, advised by Prof. Aniket Bera.

I am passionate about all aspects of 3D/4D GenAI and multi-modal models, including generative AI, vision-language modeling, and agentic AI for reasoning and planning. To contribute to this field, I led the DL3DV-10K project, a real-world scene dataset to forge a path toward a foundation model for learning 3D representation.

I was a NVIDIA Research intern in 2024 summer and fall, and working with Zhaoshuo Li, Chen-Hsuan Lin, Tsung-Yin Lin, and Ming-Yu Liu
