Biography

I am a Computer Vision Researcher specializing in machine learning and deep learning, with a Ph.D. in Signal and Information Processing from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the guidance of Prof. Qixiang Ye. I have published high-impact papers in top conferences like CVPR and journals like IEEE Transactions, contributing to advancements in object detection and weakly supervised learning.

I previously worked as a Senior Researcher at Tencent YouTu Lab, where I focused on industrial AI projects and advanced computer vision algorithms. Currently, I am a Senior Algorithm Engineer at PICEA (3irobotix), where I lead the development of an interactive cleaning system for robotic vacuum cleaners, leveraging cutting-edge vision models and multi-modal sensing technologies to enable intelligent, user-responsive cleaning solutions.

I have received several prestigious awards, including the ICCV LVIS Challenge Champion and Tencent Outstanding Employee. My research interests include self-learning, pedestrian detection, and visual object detection.
