About me

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate at the College of Information Engineering, Zhejiang University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Defeng He and Prof. Xiaoqin Zhang (IET Fellow | IEEE Senior Member). I am also a visiting student at the Imaging Systems Laboratory (ISL), The University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Edmund Y. Lam (IEEE Fellow | Optica Fellow | SPIE Fellow | IS&T Fellow | IOP Fellow | HKIE Fellow). My research focuses on Multimodal Sensing and Perception, with an emphasis on efficient deployment on embedded systems for real-world applications.
