Biography {CV}

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student majoring in Computer Vision at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, supervised by A.P. Changxin Gao and Prof. Nong Sang. I received the China National Scholarship in 2018. Before that, I received my B.S. degree from Shandong University in 2016.

I interned at Visual Computing Group, Microsoft Research Asia as Research Intern supervised by Dr Jingdong Wang. Prior to that I was a visiting student at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning of the University of Adelaide, supervised by Prof. Chunhua Shen. Before that, I was a research intern at Megvii(Face++) Research for two years mentored by Dr Gang Yu and supervised by Dr Jian Sun.

My research interests focus on Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence, specifically on the topic of Segmentation.

Highly optimized PyTorch codebases for semantic segmentation is available at TorchSeg.

I am available on the job market. Please feel free to contact me through the email.
