Doubt is the key to knowledge.

Short Bio.

Currently, I am a Senior Research Director at SenseTime Research. My current research focus is on deep learning for low-level vision. Prior to that, I was a Senior Researcher in Sumsung Research of China-Beijing, between 2015 and 2018, headed by Dr. Qiang Wang.

I got my Ph.D. degree from the Computer Science department, Beihang University in 2015. During my Ph.D. study, I visited the LHI research in 2008 and 2009, where I worked with Professor Song-Chun Zhu. Before that, I got my B.S. degree from the Department of Computer Science, Zhengzhou University in 2008. I have been fortunate to work with Ping Tan and Hao (Richard) Zhang at Simon Fraser University.

I am recruiting self-motivated interns / full-time researchers and developers in computer vision, computational photography, computational optics and AIGC. If you are interested in, please directly send your CV to my email.
