Xun Huang is a founder and PhD student in Computer Science at Cornell/Cornell Tech with ten years of experience building generative deep learning systems across industry and academia. He has held senior research scientist roles at NVIDIA and Adobe, led work on image/3D and video world models, and taught an advanced graduate course in deep generative models at CMU. His hands-on contributions to prominent open-source projects (e.g., NVlabs/MUNIT and NVIDIA's imaginaire) span core model architecture, training loop fixes and MLOps (Docker), including implementing a domain-invariant perceptual loss that improved robustness. Based in Pittsburgh, he is known for bridging cutting-edge research with production deployment and for turning complex generative ideas into reproducible code.
