I am currently a research scientist in the VUG Lab at Singapore Management University, working with Prof. Shengfeng He. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Center for Smart Health at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, working with Prof. Jing Qin. I received my Ph.D. degree in June 2023 from South China University of Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Xuemiao Xu and Prof. Shengfeng He.
My research interests include computer vision, image/video processing, and medical image analysis, with a specific focus on human-centric understanding and generative modeling.
