Yuwei Cao

Yuwei Cao is a Geo-information engineer with a specialized focus on 3D point cloud data reconstruction and semantic segmentation. She earned her PhD from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Her research interests are deeply rooted in 3D vision, with a particular emphasis on Levels of Detail (LoDs) models, 3D point cloud segmentation, 3D feature learning, and 3D reconstruction. Her work aims to advance the field by developing sophisticated methods for interpreting and utilizing 3D spatial data.

Yuwei utilizes LIDAR and other remote sensing data to assess stand species composition in the IRSS lab at the University of British Columbia (UBC). This innovative approach will enhance the precision and efficiency of environmental assessments and contribute valuable insights to the field of remote sensing.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Yuwei is passionate about outdoor activities. She enjoys hiking, skiing, camping, and trekking, finding inspiration and rejuvenation in nature.
