About Me (CV)

I am a Professor at Department of Computer Science and Technology and also affiliated with State Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology, Nanjing University.

Previously, I received the B.S. degree from Nanjing University in 2011, and the Ph.D. degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Xiaoou Tang in 2015. From 2015 to 2018, I was a Post-Doctoral Researcher with Prof. Luc Van Gool in the Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL) at ETH Zurich.
