I am a Deputy Reseacher(equivalent to Associate Professor) at Laboratory of Intelligent Collaborative Computing, UESTC. Before working at UESTC, I was a research fellow at Monash Univeristy. I earned my Ph.D. at Monash University in 2022 under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Yuan-Fang Li and co-supervision with Prof. Lianli Gao. I obtained my MS and BS degrees in Computer Science from UESTC under the supervision of Prof. Jingkuan Song in 2018, and Northeast Normal University (NENU) in 2015, respectively. My research interests focus on computer vision, such as scene graph generation, human-object interaction detection, and image retrieval, etc.

Accepting highly self-motivated Ph.D students.
