About me

I am currently a researcher in Beijing, China. Before that, I was a post-doctoral researcher in Department of Computer Science and Technology in the Tsinghua University from 2020 to 2022. I work closely with Prof. Jun Zhu. I received the Ph.D degree from the Institute of Information Science of Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU) in 2020 (advised by Prof. Yao Zhao). I was a Visiting Student with the Department of Computer Science, University of Rochester (UR) from 2018 to 2019, working with Prof. Ji Liu.

Research Interests

Machine learning, particularly continual learning, embodied lifelong learning, data selection, zero-shot learning, and few-shot learning.

Computer vision, particularly image clustering, classification, and retrieval, motion segmentation, activity recognition, and video summarization.

Embodied Intelligence, with a particular focus on learning-based control of robotic systems, including both legged and arm-based robotics.
