09/2018-Present    Deep Learning for Fine-grained Image Analysis
    Independent Completor
    ●  Propose a novel bidirectional attention-recognition model to actualize a bidirectional reinforcement of attention and recognition learning for weakly-supervised Fine-grained Object Classification.
    ● Propose a Distillation Learning (DL) method to fuse the knowledge from the entire object into region-based feature learning by knowledge distilling.
            One Journal paper accepted by IEEE TMM (first class journal in multimedia; IF: 5.4). 
            One conference paper accepted by AAAI 2020 (first class conference in artificial intelligence).
            Two patents accepted by CNIPA.

05/2018-Present    Deep Learning for Diagnosing Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
    Project Leader
    ●  To resolve the temporal diversity and pathological deformity challenge in X-ray based diagnosis of DDH, convert the detection of a landmark to the detection/segmentation of the landmark’s local neighborhood patch. Spatial attention and Adversarial learning are also employed to deal with the false positive detection.
            One conference paper accepted by MICCAI 2019 (first class conference in medical imaging).
            One journal paper accepted by IEEE TMI (first class journal in medical imaging; IF: 7.8).
            One patent accepted by CNIPA.
            Research in use by Anhui Provincial Children’s Hospital.

09/2017-Present    Deep Learning for Pediatric Bone Age Assessment
    Independent Completor
    ●  Propose a novel weakly-supervised learning approach for Bone Age Assessment, which can discover and extract the discriminative bone parts without human prior. State-of-art performance has been achieved, and the proposed method exhibits interpretability, consistency and inspiration with human prior knowledge.
            One conference paper accepted by MICCAI 2019 (first class conference in medical imaging).
            One conference paper accepted by MICCAI 2020 (first class conference in medical imaging).
            One journal paper accepted by IEEE TMI (first class journal in medical imaging; IF: 7.8).
            Two patent accepted by CNIPA.
            Research in use by Anhui Provincial Children’s Hospital.

09/2015-09/2017    Future Network Design based on Game Theory
    Project Participant
    ●  Consider the network applications as game players driven by their best self-interest. A novel Media-attribute Switching is proposed with the idea of Mechanism Design. It can provide incentives for applications to label their media-attributes honestly, thus to protect the multimedia network with order and efficiency. Scalable Video Coding and MobilityFirst Network are also involved in this research.
            One conference paper accepted by MMM 2020 (oral talk!).

07/2013-09/2014    Equipment Development for Particle Detection
    Independent Completor
    ●  Design a front-head software for detecting magnetic flux of nuclear fusion.
            Equipment in use by Southwestern Institute of Physics.
    ● Design an analog circuit preamplifier for detecting neutron flux of nuclear fission.
            Equipment in use by Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics.

09/2014-07/2017    Teaching Assistant of Design Innovation
    ●  Teaching Assistant in USTC Design Innovation Course as well as Stanford University Global Alliance for Redesign. Master the skill of project management, team collaboration, product design and leadership.

09/2012-01/2015    Volunteer Assistant of Psychotherapists
    ●  Assist the psychotherapist to help the student with psychological problem in USTC. Master the skill of listening, observing and psychological counseling.
