Biography
I'm a professor of computer science at Fudan University. I joined Fudan University in Oct 2017. Prior to this, I was a research fellow at Institut TELECOM SudParis from 2009 to 2010, a lecturer at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) from 2011 to 2013, and a senior research scientist of machine learning at CSIRO's Data61 (formerly NICTA) from 2013 to 2017. I received my PhD degree in computer science from Fudan University in 2009. My current research interests lie in machine learning, computer vision and cognition, particularly in foundational problems at the intersection of deep latent variable models and visual intelligence.
