About Me

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Software, Shandong University, where I also earned my B.S. (2014) and Ph.D. (2020) in Engineering under the supervision of Prof. Yilong Yin. My international research experience includes visiting Prof. Shuo Li's group at Western University (2016), spending 18 months at the University of Wisconsin–Madison with Prof. Vikas Singh (CSC funded), and completing a research internship at the Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IIAI), UAE, under the mentorship of Prof. Ling Shao (IEEE Fellow).

My research interests span both machine learning and computer vision, including generative models, and weakly supervised learning.
