London, UK

I completed my PhD in Computer Vision at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in 2024, supervised by Prof. Ioannis Patras. Prior to that, I obtained my MSc (2019) and BSc (2017) from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT).

Previously, I was a software engineer at Intel (2019-2020) and an intern at Tencent Media Lab (2018 summer).

Research Interests:

  • Self-supervised pre-training (SSL) for classification/detection/facial analysis tasks
  • Image generation, editing and face related generation (diffusion)
