Career Profile

I am a CV researcher based in Hong Kong SAR, China, pursuing the Ph.D. from Video, Image, and Sound Analysis Lab (VISAL), Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong, advised by Antoni B. Chan. Also My research interests are in computer vision, deep learning and machine learning.

I received Ma.Sc in Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2021, studying in the School of Artificial Intelligence, OPtics and ElectroNics (iOPEN), advised by Qi Wang and Xuelong Li, collaborating with Junyu Gao.
