About Me

I received the PhD at the Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), University of Twente, supervised by Prof. George Vosselman and Prof. Michael Yang. During my doctoral study, I worked as an Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon Web Services (AWS) AI labs, USA. Before that, I visited Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Italy, working with researchers of the Pattern Analysis and Computer Vision (PAVIS) headed by Dr. Alessio Del Bue. My doctoral research interests include generative models, multimodal learning, and 3D scene synthesis.

Prior to this, I received the M.S. degree in photogrammetry and remote sensing from Wuhan University where I worked on road extraction from aerial and satellite images using deep learning techniques (Master Thesis), advised by Prof. Shunping Ji.

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