About Me

Experience: I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham (UoN). I was an Assistant Professor (2022-2023) and a Postdoc at University of Trento (UNITN, 2020-2022) working with Prof. Nicu Sebe. I received my Ph.D. degree in 2019 from the Cognitive Science Department at Xiamen University under the supervision of Prof. Shaozi Li. I was also a joint Ph.D. student in 2017-2019 at University of Technology Sydney under the co-supervision of Prof. Yi Yang and Dr. Liang Zheng. I received the M.S. Degree in Computer Science and Technology in 2015 from China University Of Petroleum, Qingdao, China. I received the B.S. degree from the Information Engineering Department, from East China University of Technology in 2012.

Research Interests: Our Lab for Intelligence and VisiON (LION) commits to designing trustworthy intelligent visual recognition systems for real-world applications. To achieve this goal, we mainly focus on the areas of data augmentation, unsupervised/semi- supervised learning, federated learning, domain generalization, domain adaptation and novel class discovery, and investigate their advantages in visual tasks, such as object retrieval, image classification, semantic segmentation, etc.

Join Us: I am looking for highly-motivated Ph.D. students starting from September 2024; I also welcome visiting students/research assistant.

I am also a guest researcher at UNITN (MHUG led by Prof. Nicu Sebe), in which we are hiring highly-motivated Postdoc/Ph.D. students/visiting students/research assistant.
