About Me

I’m currently a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at ‘the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the University of Queensland (UQ) since Nov. 2024.

Recruiting Ph.D. students and research interns. I’m actively looking for strong and motivated students. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free drop me an email.

I was a Research Scientist in Meta Inc.. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Nanyang Technological University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Tat Jen Cham, Prof. Jianfei Cai, Prof. Junsong Yuan and Prof. Nadia Magnenat Thalmann. Prior to this, I obtained my Bachelor degree from Southeast University.

My research interests include multi-modal human perception, vision-language understanding, natural language processing.
