About Me

I am currently a computer vision researcher in Huawei. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2021. My supervisors are Prof. Houqiang Li and Prof. Wengang Zhou. Prior to that, I received my B.S. degree from Tianjin University (TJU) in 2016.

My research interests are in computer vision, and I am currently working on cross-modal (vision + language) pretraining, image captioning, visual grounding, and visual object tracking.
