About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at MMLab@NTU starting from 2021 Fall, supervised by Prof. Chen Change Loy. Previously, I received my M.Eng. degree (2021) and B.Eng. degree (2018) from MC2 Lab@Beihang University, supervised by Prof. Mai Xu.
I am broadly interested in computer vision and deep learning.
My current research mainly focuses on low-level vision.
