Biography

I am currently an associate professor in the School of Computer Science and Technology, XI'AN University of Posts and Telecommunications. Before that, I obtained my bachelor's degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) in 2016, and I obtained the PhD degree from the Xi’an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in 2021, supervised by Yuan Yuan(袁媛), Xiaoqiang Lu(卢孝强), and Xiangtao Zheng(郑向涛). What I met, told and learned in the Center for OPTical IMagery Analysis and Learning (OPTIMAL) led by Prof. Xuelong Li(李学龙) have undoubtedly made great impacts on me. Great Thanks!
