Hi, I'm Primav Li 👋
🎓 I am a PhD candidate in Artificial Intelligence and Data Design at the College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University, advised by Professor Qing Chen. I am affiliated with the Intelligent Big Data Visualization (iDVX) Lab and the Qualia Intelligence & Innovation Lab.
🧠 My research develops cognitive computing–driven AI methods to support human creativity and human–AI co-creation, with a particular focus on algorithms for 3D content generalization. I aim to translate these methods into real-world tools and workflows that advance industrial transformation.
💼 I received my undergraduate degree in Media and Communication Design from Tongji University. My previous internships spanned intelligent design platforms at Tesla R&D, natural language processing research at Liquid, and synthetic data research at the TikTok AI Innovation Center, ByteDance.
🌱 Outside research, I enjoy comics, 3D modeling, and exploring new forms of interactive media. My nickname, “Primav,” comes from the Italian word primavera, with era removed—a reminder of an endless spring. I am inspired by my college’s motto: “To learn and create, for a meaningful life and a better world.”
What I'm interested in
Creativity & Behavior
Human civilization has not yet understood many of human beings' instincts. Creation, however, is an instinct that defines human nature.
CV&CG
Understanding images and representational graphics is equally important to me, and this is precisely due to my dual identity as a developer and a creator.
Cognitive Science
Cognition is not only about how people perceive the world around them, but also about how concepts shape the way people perceive the world.
AI for Science
My vision is to develop a technological mediator that facilitates scientific advancement while mediating human intrinsic values.
