Biography


I am a staff scientist / research manager at Alibaba DAMO Academy. Previously, I was a faculty member in Fudan University, and a senior researcher in Tencent AI Lab. I got my PhD/MPhil degrees from City University of Hong Kong during which I visited Adobe Research and UC Merced, and got my bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China. My research resides in computer vision and machine learning, with 50+ premier papers (i.e., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, PAMI, IJCV) published. Currently, I am interested in multi-modality AI, from model-centric, data-centric, and human-centric perspectives, with applications centered around computer vision. I am an IEEE senior member, and have been elected among Top 2% Scientists worldwide by Stanford University.
