I am a Senior Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research (Boston) working with Prof. Song Han.
I am also a visiting researcher at MIT HAN Lab.
I was a Principal Researcher and Research Lead (in Generative AI) at Huawei Noah's Ark Lab (Hong Kong).
I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, The University of Hong Kong in 2022.
My advisor is Prof. Ping Luo and my co-advisor is Prof. Wenping Wang.
I also work very closely with my friend Wenhai Wang.
I was fortunate to work with
Prof. Chunhua Shen (UofAdelaide),
Prof. Anima Anandkumar (CalTech),
and Prof. Sanja Fidler (UofT).
During my PhD study, I collaborated with several researchers in industry e.g. Facebook and NVIDIA.
My research interest is solving challenging problems in generative AI, computer vision and deep learning.
I developed a few well-known computer vision algorithms including:
- PolarMask (Rank 10 in CVPR 2020 Top-10 Influential Papers).
- PVT (Rank 2 in ICCV 2021 Top-10 Influential Papers).
- SegFormer (Rank 3 in NeurIPS 2021 Top-10 Influential Papers).
- BEVFormer (Rank 6 in ECCV 2022 Top-10 Influential Papers).
- [2025.06] 1 paper accepted to ICML 2025, and 3 papers accepted to ICCV 2025.
- [2025.02] Co-authored book《计算机视觉十讲》 (Ten Lectures on Computer Vision) has been published!
- [2025.01] 5 papers accepted to ICLR 2025 (1 Oral, 1 Spotlight).
- [2024.12] Serve as Area Chair for ICCV 2025 and Guest Editor for Pattern Recognition.
- [2024.08] 1 paper accepted to Nature Communications Engineering. (The first time submitted a paper to Nature and got accepted!)
- [2024.07] 3 paper accepted to ECCV, 1x RA-L and 1x TMLR.
- [2024.04] Back to NVIDIA Research! Join the Efficient AI team.
