My name is Shaoyu Liu, and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate jointly trained by Xidian University and the Qiyuan National Laboratory, with an expected graduation year of 2027. My advisors are Professor Guanghui Zhao (Xidian University) and Professor Xiangyang Ji (Qiyuan Lab, Tsinghua University). To date, I have published one first-author paper at CVPR2025 and have another papers under review at ICLR2026 and CVPR2026. During my studies, I was awarded the Qiyuan National Laboratory Academic Scholarship. I developed the first event-based vision multimodal large language model, EventGPT, which has garnered widespread attention both domestically and internationally (including recognition from the Robotics and Perception Group led by Davide Scaramuzza at the University of Zurich, as well as Arizona State University, among others). It was featured in a dedicated article titled “EventGPT: Giving AI the Power of Superhuman Vision” by the U.S. developer platform PromptLayer.
My primary research interests include multimodal large language models, neuromorphic vision, robotics and perception, and related fields.
