Biography

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher, working with Prof. Liujuan Cao at the Media Analytic and Computing (MAC) Lab , School of Informatics, Xiamen University. I received my PhD from Vision, Learning and Control Research Group (VLC), School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, under the supervision of Dr. Sasan Mahmoodi and Dr. Srinandan Dasmahapatra. Before that, I received my Master's degree from Xiamen University and my Bachelor's degree from Yunnan University. My research interests lie in deep learning, computer vision, and robust intelligent systems.
