Bryan Wang, Ph.D.
Research Scientist II @ Adobe Research
About
I'm a Research Scientist II at Adobe Research, where I build generative media systems and AI agents for content creation. My work has been published at premier HCI and AI conferences and has shipped in core Adobe products used by millions of creators.
I received my Ph.D. and M.Sc. from the University of Toronto and my B.Sc. from National Taiwan University, all in Computer Science. During my Ph.D., I was a research intern at Adobe, Google, and Meta.
