About Me
I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow at S-Lab in Nanyang Technological University, working with Prof. Weisi Lin. I received my Ph.D. degree from Dept. of Computer Science at the University of Hong Kong in January 2021. I did my Ph.D. research at Computer Vision Lab in HKU, advised by Dr. Kenneth K.Y. Wong. Prior to studying at HKU, I received my B.Eng. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
My interests are centered around Computer Vision and Deep Learning. Current research topics include:
- Low level vision, including image quality assessment, restoration and enhancement.
- Image-to-image translation
- 3D-aware image synthesis/rendering/editing
- Face related tasks
