Biography


I am currently an associate researcher at the Shenzhen International Graduate School, Tsinghua University(THU). Prior to this, I received the Ph.D degree from the School of Computer Science and Technology of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), under the supervision of Prof. Enhong Chen from Sep. 2018 to June, 2024. I visited Prof. Lei Chen at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from Jan. 2023 to Sep. 2023. I was a reserach intern mentored by Dr. Yong Zhang at Tencent AI Lab from Aug. 2020 to Apr. 2021. I have published 18 papers in top conferences and journals including ICCV, AAAI, IJCAI, TOIS, TMM, TNNLS. I'm now a member of IEEE, ACM, CAAI and CCF. My current research interest lies in LLM, computer vision, multimedia and data mining related area. I have three reaserch groups across THU and USTC:
