Biography
Currently an Associate Professor at Southeast University, affiliated with the PALM Laboratory.
Received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), Beijing, in Jun. 2020, advised by professor Shiguang Shan. I was also fortunate to cooperate tightly with Jiabei Zeng during my four year phd candidate career.From 2022 to 2024, I studied and worked at City University of Hong Kong (Collaborating Supervisor: Antion Bert Chan ) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (Collaborating Supervisor: Guan Cuntai ).
Awarded as one of the outstanding doctoral dissertations in the China Society of Image and Graphics in 2021 (Total of 10 in China Mainland Per Year).
I focus on artifical intelligence, multimodal learning, generative modelling, affective computing.
