I am an Assistant Professor at The University of Hong Kong, where I direct the Visual AI Lab. My research interests lie in computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. My current research focuses on open-world learning, 3D vision, generative AI, foundation models and their relevant fields. The overarching goal of my research is to achieve principled and comprehensive visual understanding, close the intelligence gap between machines and humans, and build reliable AI systems for open-world use. Previously, I was a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google Research, an Assistant Professor in Department of Computer Science at University of Bristol, and a Postdoctoral Researcher in the great Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford working with Prof. Andrew Zisserman and Prof. Andrea Vedaldi. I received my Ph.D. degree in Department of Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong advised by Prof. Kenneth K.Y. Wong. During my Ph.D., I was lucky to work with Prof. Jean Ponce and Prof. Minsu Cho at the WILLOW team of Inria Paris and École Normale Supérieure (ENS).

🚩Openings:
(1) PhD students to work on exciting research problems (always looking for strong candidates ☞ Scholarships; HKU-BICI; HKU-ASTRI).
(2) Postdoc positions with a competitive salary.
Please drop me an email with your resume if you are interested in working with me.
