My research interest lies in Human Centered Multimedia Analysis, including Cross-modal Search and Creation, Egocentric Video Understanding, Multi‐modal Large Language Model and AI for Healthcare. Specifically, the objective is to conduct frontier research and develop cutting-edge technologies for processing, modeling, analyzing, and understanding multimedia content, that facilitate natural and immersive human experience and exert positive impact for our society.

Before joining SMU, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher working with Prof. Dima Damen at the University of Bristol, as part of the EPSRC Visual AI Program Grant. Previously, I received my Ph.D. degree from Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. Chong-Wah Ngo and Dr. Wing-Kwong Chan. Prior to CityU, I obtained my master and bachelor degrees from Zhejiang University and Southeast University respectively.

🔥🔥🔥Openings: I am actively looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students, CSC visiting students, and (remote) interns. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to drop me an email with your CV and other supporting documents (if any).
