I am currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Science Department of Carnegie Mellon University working with Prof. Mahadev Satyanarayanan. I received both my B.E. (2017) and Ph.D. (2022) degrees with highest honors at the School of Software, Tsinghua University, under the supervision of Prof. Zheng Yang and Prof. Yunhao Liu.
How can cutting-edge CV/AI advances empower running robots, flying drones, and soaring satellites (NOT just excel on datasets or in simulators)? The only way to think this question and validate your answers is building effective mobile systems. To this end, my current research interests include:
- Embodied, Embedded, and Autonomous Systems
- Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), Edge Computing
- Drone-based Systems, Event Camera, Vision Foundation Models
[OPENING] I’m actively seeking highly motivated students to join our group at HKU. See Note to Prospective Students.
