I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Earth Observation Science (EOS), Faculty ITC, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, under the supervision of Prof. George Vosselman. Meanwhile, I am a member of the Scene Understanding Group (SUG) led by Prof. Michael Ying Yang at University of Bath, Bath, UK. Since June 2024, I am a Visiting Scientist at Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Genoa, Italy, working with researchers of the Pattern Analysis and Computer Vision (PAVIS) headed by Dr. Alessio Del Bue. My research interests include machine learning, 3D scene understanding and deep generative models.

Before that, I worked in road extraction from aerial and satellite images using deep learning techniques (Master Thesis), advised by Prof. Shunping Ji. I received the M.S. degree in photogrammetry and remote sensing from Wuhan University, Wuhan, China, and the B.S. degree in geographic information science from China University of Petroleum, Qingdao, China.

If you are interested in my research or have any use cases that you would like to collaborate on, feel free to contact me!
