Biography

I will be joining the Department of Nankai International Advanced Research Institute (SHENZHEN-FUTIAN) as a faculty member in 2024. Now I'm a Full Professor and deputy director of the Media Computing Lab (MCLab) at the College of Computer Science, Nankai University, China. Before that, he was postdoctoral, working with Prof. Luc Van Gool in Computer Vision Lab @ ETH Zurich. From 2019-2021, he was a research scientist (PI) and team lead of IIAI-CV&Med in IIAI, working with Prof. Ling Shao and Prof. Jianbing Shen. He received his Ph.D. from Nankai University in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Ming-Ming Cheng. His research interest is in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Medical Image Analysis. Specifically, he focuses on Dichotomous Image Segmentation (General Object Segmentation, Camouflaged Object Segmentation, Saliency Detection), Multi-Modal AI. He is a senior member of IEEE and is one of the core technique members in TRACE-Zurich project on automated driving. [CV]
