25 DAILY ICCV Thursday Miaomiao Liu like you can see the 3D model. After applying the algorithms that we developed, we could basically retrieve or produce or create the 3D model of what we can see or the data captured from video sequences. For me it's quite visual, you can play with the 3D model. Now we have the 3D printer, you can print the 3D model. You can digitilize yourself, the person. You are originally from China and you teach in Australia. How do you find yourself in this interesting mix? Australia is a very nice place for work and also for life. Life there is not as hectic as in other places. No, people there are relaxed. At the academic level, you have more time to... Because things are quite slow, so Canberra is relatively quiet and it's called a bush walking city. You have a lot of nature and hiking places you can go during the weekend. It's a small city and you can drive to everywhere in 20 minutes. So normally we do not have traffic jams. Very smart choice. I graduated from the University of Hong Kong, a very busy city, so it's quite different. How different is it to teach Australian students versus teaching other students in general? I think there's not much difference in Australia. We teach undergraduate courses and master courses. Our international students are mainly from China, India, Sri Lanka… For the teaching style, it's probably similar to other universities. It's normally 12 weeks teaching and probably students will find that the workload is quite intense. After 12 weeks you have a break and then move on to the next semester. Students probably interact more, compared to students in China. Yes, they definitely ask direct questions. In China, probably... I'm not sure now, because I graduated a long time ago from China. Probably nowadays the young generation is different, but in our older days, people were quieter in class. Now, if you have a question, you just put up your hand and then ask. More interaction! Since you have started to talk about the past, let's reveal something to our readers. We met for the first time nine years ago at ECCV in Amsterdam. Tell me, how did Miaomiao change from the Miaomiao of 2016, into the Miaomiao of 2025? Let's see. I was working at NICTA, in Australia. It's a research center called the National ICT Centre of Australia, where I was a researcher there. The work in that research center did not have a teaching component, it's research-focused.
