Biography
I obtained the Ph.D. degree from the
City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK), Hong Kong SAR, China, in 2024, with the supervision of
Prof. Youfu Li. Previously, I received the B.Eng. degree from the
China University of Petroleum, Qingdao, China, in 2019 and the M.Sc. degree from CityUHK in 2020. I work in the field of computer vision and deep learning, and focus on the following research topics:
- Multi-Modal Learning => Vision-Language Model, Multi-Modal Alignment and Fusion, and Cross-Modal Transfer Learning
- Visual Perception with Event Cameras => Representation, Learning, and Downstream Tasks
- Multimedia Forensics => Forgery Detection, Information Forensics, and AIGC Security
- Model Compression => Knowledge Distillation and Network Pruning
