I am an Associate Professor at the School of Systems Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University. Previously, I worked as a Post-Doctoral Researcher at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.
My research interests include at the intersection of computer vision, machine learning, and neuroscience. I have published over 50 papers in leading journals and conferences, including Science Advances, T-PAMI, IJCV, ICML, CVPR, and AAAI, etc.
My work has received recognition through awards such as the Young Excellent Paper Nomination Award at the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the Best Paper Nomination Award at ICME 2017.
