About me

I am currently the GM of ADG Business Unit and a senior director of research in SenseTime Group, leading a team with 100+ members, and also a Principal Investigator in Shanghai AI Lab.

Before that, I obtain my PhD from Multimedia Lab (MMLab), the Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Xiaogang Wang. I'm the only awardee of Google PhD Fellowship 2019 in the Greater China area.

My research interests include: Artificial General Intelligence, Deep RL and neural network understanding under billions of data. Previously I was also proficient in basic computer vision topics (detection, classification, recognition, generation, synthesis and video understanding).

In recent years I am a reviewer for CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI, IJCAI, T-PAMI, IJCV, TCSVT, TIP, PRCV.
