About Me

photo

I currently work at Meituan Inc. I worked at Malong LLC from Apr. 2019 to Apr. 2021.

I completed my DPhil degree in the Visual Geometry Group (VGG), Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford. My supervisors are Prof. Andrew Zisserman and Dr. Relja Arandjelović. Prior to this, I obtained my BA and MEng degrees at the University of Oxford.

My research direction includes object detection, self-supervised learning, vision-language modeling, neural architecture search, image retrieval and face recognition.
