Brief Bio

I received my Ph.D and Master degrees from NUDT and National Defense Technology Innovation Institute in 2024 and 2020, respectively. Before that, I received my B.E. degree from Tianjin University in 2017. Currently, I'm an assistant professor with the College of Electronic Science and Technology, NUDT. My research interests focus on optical image processing, interpretation and application, particularly on infrared small target detection, weakly supervised semantic segmentation, and neural network compression and accelerating.
