Wenhan Wu (wwu25@uncc.edu)

I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in the CS department of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte under the supervision of Professor Aidong Lu (UNCC) and co-advised by Professor Chen Chen (UCF). Before joining UNCC, I earned my Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2020. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Information Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in the School of Information and Communication Engineering in 2018.

Research Interests

  • Human-Centric Video Understanding

  • Action Recognition, Motion Analysis

  • Representation Learning, Frequency Analysis
