About Xiyu Jerry Chen

I am an undergraduate researcher at UC San Diego studying Computer Science and Cognitive Science. My passion lies at the intersection of computer vision, 3D reconstruction, and generative AI. Voice technology: At China Literature I created a multi-emotion TTS stack—trained four LoRA voice clones and cut inference time 59 %(8.9 s → 3.6 s). Generative imagery: Devised a Flux-based pipeline that fuses virtual characters with real-world landmarks; delivered 100 + marketing visuals for nationwide “blind-box” ads. ML for safety & labs: • Single-camera fall-detection model (CNN vs. SVM, F1 ↑ 18 %) • OCR workflow that digitises analogue gauge readings for research teams. STEM storytelling: Produced a Tencent video course on AI fundamentals adopted by 300 + primary schools. Front-End & UI/UX Design: Built my portfolio site with responsive design and GSAP animations, blending digital art into a fast, accessible UI.Toolbox → Python & PyTorch | LoRA fine-tuning | OpenCV | Scikit-learn | React/Next | GSAP | SwiftUI Off-screen you’ll find me track-side with a Sony α7—motorsport and photography keep my eye tuned to pattern and light, skills I channel throughout my works.
