Biography

I am currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Computer Science, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, China. I received the Ph.D. degree from University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui, China, in 2012, supervised by Prof. Lihua Yue. I received the joint Ph.D. degree from City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China, in 2012, supervised by Dr. Howard Leung. I worked as a Post doc in Jiangsu University under the supervision of Prof. Yongzhao Zhan. I work closely with Associate Prof. Lanling Zeng.

My research interests include image processing, computational photography, computer graphics, and deep learning.
