Mia Bio Picture

Hello there :)

I am Mia — a master's student in computer science at Stanford University, where I'm fortunate to be advised by Professor Maneesh Agrawala. I have also had the privilege of working at the Stanford Vision and Learning Lab (SVL). Previously, I earned my BCSA (Bachelor of Computer Science and Arts) at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was grateful to work with Professor Jun-Yan Zhu on generative visual systems and Professor Kyuha Shim on computational design.

I am passionate about teaching and express this through my work as a comic artist, developing accessible educational illustrations on technical topics. In my free time, I volunteer as a math tutor for preschool children at local schools in Palo Alto.

Research Interest

My research centers on vision-language models for controllable 2D and 3D generation, with a particular focus on developing algorithms and systems that enhance the creative workflows of designers and artists.

🐰 I currently co-organize Stanford Graphics Cafe Seminar. Subscribe to our mailing list for updates!
