Jacob Lin

I am a second-year CS PhD student at the University of Oxford, supervised by Ronald Clark and funded by EPSRC. My research interests broadly lie in Computer Vision, specifically in World Modelling and Physics-Guided Vision Models.

I have previously worked as a research assistant at Imperial College London, where I also did my undergraduate degree. Prior to my studies in the UK, I was born and raised in Malmö, Sweden.

Research

My research focuses on teaching vision models to understand physics. Currently, I'm approaching this through world modelling on large-scale data. Previously, I approached it through physics-based simulations, with a focus on atmospheric clouds.

We use large-eddy simulations to train a vision model to estimate cloud properties from ground-based cameras, at 25 m and 5 s resolution.

We release a stereo dataset co-located with LiDAR for benchmarking 3D reconstruction of atmospheric clouds.
