Jordan Lin

Hello! My name is Kuan Heng (Jordan) Lin, and I am a fourth-year Computer Science undergraduate at UCLA with a minor in Mathematics, working with Professor Bolei Zhou on computer vision and generative AI.

My research interests stem from generative AI to topics such as computer vision, multimodal/3D generation, controllable generation, generative vision for autonomy, and foundation & world models. Particularly, my work revolves around pushing the boundaries and applications of large generative models to allow us to interact with them in a more human way.

I am previously a Research Intern at Snap’s Creative Vision team, where I worked on large-scale video diffusion models (SnapVideo V2) with Willi Menapace, particularly building Snap’s first 2D (Data + Model) Parallel framework and implementing variable-length multimodal training. I am also passionate about CS and ML education: I am part of the Program Development Team at the UCLA Learning Assistant Program, and I am an Advisor and Ex-President of ACM AI @ UCLA.

I also do photography and filmmaking.

My name: 林宽恒 (lín kuān héng), hence my legal name Kuan Heng Lin.
