I’m currently a tenure-track assistant professor at John Hopcroft Center (JHC) for Computer Science of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). My research interest mainly lies on Computer Vision and Multimedia. I received my Ph.D. degree in Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at McMaster University, supervised by Prof. Jun Chen. During the Ph.D., I visited Computer Vision Lab at Michigan State University adviced by Prof. Xiaoming Liu.

I was selected as the Microsoft Research Asia StarTrack Scholar in 2024. I received the Shanghai Pujiang Talent Program in 2022, the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-financed Students Abroad in 2021, a Canada Graduate Scholarship from Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) in 2021, and a Borealis AI Fellowship in 2020. My research has been supported by the Young Scientists Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and many big tech companies.

My research interests mainly lie in the fields of computer vision and multimedia, and particularly in:

• Image/Video Restoration and Enhancement
• Image/Video Generation and Editing
• Image/Video Quality Assessment
• AI for Healthcare
