Biography

I am a professor with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China(SCSE, UESTC), leading the Data Intelligence Group(DIG).

I was working with Prof. Luc Van Gool as a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Vision Laboratory, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. I obtained my PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. Dong Xu from the Nanyang Technological University(NTU) on 2015. I also worked closely with Prof. Ivor Wai-Hung Tsang during my PhD.
