About me

I lead multimodal research at the Intelligent Healthcare Lab, Huawei.

My work connects multimodal understanding with efficient and trustworthy computer vision. I am interested in how models can reason across visual information, learn from compact data, and support medical image analysis.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology from Tongji University. During my doctoral studies, I interned at Microsoft Research Asia, working with Xinyang Jiang and Dongsheng Li on infographic understanding and neural architecture search. I also visited Michigan State University, hosted by Prof. Xiaoming Liu. My doctoral research focused on robustness, security, and privacy in person re-identification.

We welcome research scientists, engineers, and interns interested in these directions. Get in touch
