About Me

I am currently an Assistant Professor with the Visual Computing Research Center (VCC) (headed by Prof. Hui Huang) at the College of Computer Science & Software Engineering, Shenzhen University. I received my Ph.D. in Information and Communication Engineering from Xidian University in 2022, supervised by Prof. Xinbo Gao. Prior to that, I received my B.E. from the School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University in 2017.

My research interest is computer vision, affective computing and AIGC, currently with emphasis on affective image manipulation.

I am looking for master students who are motivated, self-disciplined and optimistic. ✨
I am also expecting undergraduate students to contact me with your graduation projects. 🦄
