Graduate student in Computer Science at the University of Cyprus, conducting research in Generative Models and Computer Vision in collaboration with the Gruvi Lab @ SFU.
Nicosia, Cyprus
I am Kian Izadpanah, a Computer Vision researcher specialising in how machines understand and manipulate visual content. I completed my BSc in Computer Engineering at Sharif University of Technology in September 2025, during which I pursued research across several international laboratories.
I am currently pursuing graduate studies in Computer Science at the University of Cyprus (UCY), with an active research collaboration at the Gruvi Lab, Simon Fraser University (SFU). My primary research focus is on Generative Models, with an emphasis on image synthesis and controlled editing.
My research is supervised by Ali Mahdavi-Amiri and Daniel Cohen-Or at SFU, and by Yiorgos Chrysantou and Andreas Aristidou at UCY.
Representation learning and visual scene understanding from image and video data.
Diffusion models and flow-based architectures for image synthesis and controlled editing.
Neural architectures, optimisation methods, and large-scale model training.
Pursuing graduate research in generative models and computer vision, with a focus on image synthesis, editing, and deep generative architectures.
Active research collaboration on image editing and generative model research, working alongside leading researchers in computer vision and computational graphics.
Completed the undergraduate programme in Computer Engineering with a strong focus on machine learning and computer vision. Enrolled in graduate-level courses in Machine Learning and 3D Computer Vision alongside the core curriculum.
