Biography


I am a Ph.D. candidate at ROSE Lab in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), under the supervision of Prof. Lin Weisi, Prof. Alex Kot, Assoc Prof. Lap-Pui Chau and Assoc Prof. YAP Kim Hui. Formerly I was a deep learning engineer in LLVISION and a research assistant in NAOC, which I joined in 2014 after receiving my Bachelor degree. My research interests are in deep learning and feature coding.
