Short Bio: I am an
Associate Professor (tenured) and ARC Future Fellow at the School of Computing, Australian National University. I joined ANU in 2018 and held the CS Futures Fellowship and ARC DECRA Fellowship. I'm also a researcher (part-time) at Canva. I received my Ph.D from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2015, and my B.S. from the School of Life Science, Tsinghua University in 2010.
Research interest: I have broad interest in computer vision especially generative AI. I am working with a group of talented students designing protocols and architectures to discover the underlying patterns and laws of data and algorithms.
Position Openings:
[Research Fellow] My group does not have openings for research fellows.
[PhD students] I am looking for highly motivated PhD students with exceptional English ability, coding ability and research experience. A prospective student should have high GPA and rich experience in research.
[Visiting students] If you are interested in a visiting scholar position, please be kindly advised that I do not provide funding for it. If you can secure externel funding support and if you are highly motivated and experienced in research, please drop me an email.
[ANU students] If you are an ANU undergraduate looking for an Honors project, please note that I usually take 2-3 honors students each year and that 24-unit projects are preferred. If you are an ANU master student looking for individual projects, you should have some research background, good GPA and coding abilities. You should also have sufficient time for research.
