Research Experience
Currently an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Macau, leading the Computer Vision Lab. Formerly an Assistant Professor in the Department of CSE at Texas A&M University.
Education
Ph.D. from UC-Irvine, advised by Charless Fowlkes; Postdoc training at the Robotics Institute, CMU, working with Deva Ramanan.
Background
Research Interests: Computer Vision and its interactions with other fields (e.g., ML, NLP, HCI, robotics, and graphics), broad applications (e.g., AR/VR and autonomous driving), and diverse disciplines (e.g., biology and paleoecology). Establishing the research topic of Open-World Vision, on which a previous paper was recognized for Best Paper / Marr Prize at ICCV 2021. Previous interdisciplinary research built a high-throughput pollen analysis system, which was featured by the National Science Foundation as opening a new era of fossil pollen research.
Miscellany
Actively looking for self-motivated PhD students to join CIS, FST, University of Macau.
