Overview
I am currently an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the School of Computer Science and Informatics, and a member of the Visual Computing research group. I am also a committee member of British Standards Institution (BSI). I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Waterloo, Canada. I received the Ph.D. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2021, joint with University of Waterloo from 2019 to 2021. I used to be a visiting professor in the School of AI at Dalian University of Technology; a visiting scholar in National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan; a research assistant with Intel; a research intern with Microsoft Research and Alibaba Group. I am a Senior Member of IEEE.
My research interests span multimedia computing, perceptual image processing, and computational vision. In recent years, I have published over 60 refereed papers in these areas, including those published in prestigious journals and international conferences. My research has achieved real-world impacts on the development of low-level vision techniques at Alibaba Cloud.

Biography
I have been an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in the School of Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University since 2023. I am a member of Visual Computing Research Group. I am also a committee member of British Standards Institution. I am participating in the JPEG standardization activities.
Before that, I studied and worked in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Waterloo from 2019 to 2023. I used to be a visiting professor at Dalian University of Technology, a visiting scholar at National Institute of Informatics (Tokyo), a research assistant with Intel, a research intern in Microsoft Research and Alibaba Cloud. I had an educational background majored in Electrical Engineering at University of Science and Technology of China.
My research interests mainly focus on image/video processing, multimedia computing, applied perception, human-centric AI, computational photography, imaging, vision, displays, and machine learning. I aim to develop efficient and intelligent visual processing algorithms based on human perception, helping improve the quality of experience for human visual systems. I received the ACM SIGMM Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award (China Section) in 2022 and the Grand Challenge Winner Award in CVPR CLIC 2021.
