About Me

I’m a research scientist at the Huawei Zurich Research Center, working on embodied AI. I was a postdoc researcher at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST ), working with Prof. Mohamed Elhoseiny at Vision-CAIR. I obtained Ph.D. degree from Wuhan University, supervised by Prof. Gui-Song Xia in CAPTAIN Group. I was a visiting scholar at CVML group of Max Planck Institute for Informatics advised by Dr. Dengxin Dai.
