About Me

I am currently a Research Fellow with Prof. Mohan Kankanhalli in School of Computing, National University of Singapore. I received my Ph.D degree at Shandong University, under the supervision of Prof. Liqiang Nie and Prof. Zhiyong Cheng. I received the B.Eng. degree from Southeast University in China and the Master degree from the Kansai University in Japan, under the supervision of Prof. Ebara Hiroyuki. My research interests lie primarily in multimedia information retrieval and recommendation. I was a visiting scholar at N-CRiPT@NUS in 2021.
