Biography

Currently, I am an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar in Prof. Song-Chun Zhu's VCLA lab at UCLA. Before that, I was a research scientist at the Human Cyber Physical Intelligence Integration Lab of Sun Yat-sen University, advised by Prof. Liang Lin and Prof. Hui Cheng. I obtained dual PhD awards in the Department of Computing of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in March 2019, advised by Prof. Lei Zhang. I obtained my Ph.D. degree with honors from the School of Data and Computer Science at Sun Yat-sen University in December 2017, advised by Prof. Liang Lin. I also received a BE degree with honors from Sun Yat-sen University.
