About Me (GitHub) (DBLP) (ResearchGate) (GoogleScholar)

I'm currently an Assistant Professor with the School of Computer Science and Technology (School of Artifical Intelligence), Zhejiang Normal University. Before that, I received my Ph.D degree in 2022, supervised by Prof. Zhonglong Zheng and Xiaoqin Zhang. During the spring of 2021, I worked with Prof. Yanwei Fu as an intern at Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-inspired Intelligence (ISTBI), Fudan University.
My research interests include computer vision, deep learning, and multimedia computing.

To prospective students: I am looking for self-motivated and well-trained students. Please read HERE.
If you are highly creative, have good grades/coding skill and interested in computer vision research, please do not hesitate to send me your CV and transcripts of grades.
