Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Center for Research on Intelligent Perception and Computing (CRIPAC), State Key Laboratory of Multimodal Artificial Intelligence Systems (MAIS), [Previously National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition (NLPR)], Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA), advised by Prof. Zhenan Sun.
I received my Ph.D. Degree in Control Science and Engineering from the School of Automation (AI Nowadays), Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in 2020, working with Dr. Hao Dang and Dr. Guanhong Zhang. Before that, I received my B.S. Degree in Automation from the School of Automation (AI Nowadays), BUPT in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Jun Yang.
In recent years, our papers have been published on reputable journals and conferences such as IEEE/ACM TMI, TIFS, TII, TCBB, JBHI and CVPR (as the First or Corresponding Author).


Research Fields

My research interests include Medical Image Analysis (advised by Prof.Caifeng Shan and Prof.Zhenan Sun) and Human-Centric Generation (advised by Prof.Zhenan Sun). Recently, my main research topics include Efficient and Multi-Modal Medical Image Analysis (Transformer-based, MixUp-based, Knowledge Distillation, MultiModal Learning), Multi-Modal Human Motion Generation (GAN-based, Diffusion-based, MultiModal Learning), and Multi-Model 3D (3D Representation and Generation).
