I am an Assistant Professor at the
Department of Computer Science of
The University of Hong Kong. Previously, I have spent wonderful times as a Postdoctoral Researcher at
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) of
MIT, supervised by
Prof. Antonio Torralba, at
Torr Vision Group of
University of Oxford (beautiful Oxford), supervised by
Prof. Philip Torr. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by
Prof. Jiaya Jia, and my bachelor's degree from
Huazhong University of Science and Technology. During Ph.D., I have spent wonderful times as a Research Intern, working with
Dr. Xiaohui Shen,
Dr. Zhe Lin,
Dr. Kalyan Sunkavalli,
Dr. Brian Price at Adobe (San Jose),
Prof. Raquel Urtasun at Uber (Toronto), and
Dr. Vladlen Koltun at Intel (Santa Clara).
My general research interests cover the broad area of computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, with special emphasis on building intelligent visual systems. My research goal is to utilize artificial intelligence techniques to make machines perceive, understand, imagine, and interact with the surrounding environment, and ultimately make high positive impacts on various fields. Our current research interests and focus include: 1. visual scene understanding, perception, reconstruction, representation learning, multimodal learning; 2. generative modeling, visual content creation, generation, and manipulation (image/video/3d); 3. autonomous driving, embodied ai, robot learning, LLM applications etc.
