I am a senior undergraduate student at School of Computer Science and Technology, Xidian University (西安电子科技大学计算机科学与技术学院). During my undergraduate studies, I have been honored to work at AAIR under the supervision of Dr. Juli Zhang (张菊莉), and at ISN under the supervision of Prof. Kai Fan (樊凯). Meanwhile, I am also a Ph.D. candidate at School of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University (浙江大学计算机科学与技术学院), supervised by Prof. Dongxiang Zhang (张东祥).
My research interests focus on computer vision, primarily AI applications in the visual domain. During my undergraduate studies, I explored remote sensing imagery and distributed systems. Currently, I am exploring its applications in video analysis, with a particular focus on video anomaly detection. I’m always looking for related collaboration. If you are interested to chat with me, feel free to drop me an email.
