I am on the faculty of FST, University of Macau, leading the Computer Vision Lab. I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of CSE at Texas A&M University. I did my postdoc training at the Robotics Institute, CMU, working with Deva Ramanan. I received my PhD from UC-Irvine, working with Charless Fowlkes.

My research lies in Computer Vision and its interactions with other fields (e.g., ML, NLP, HCI, robotics, and graphics), broad applications (e.g., AR/VR and autonomous driving), and diverse disciplines (e.g., biology and paleoecology). I am establishing the research topic Open-World Vision, on which my previous paper was recognized for Best Paper / Marr Prize at ICCV 2021. On this topic, I study how to make vision algorithm applicable in the real open world, e.g., through interdisciplinary research. My previous interdisciplinary research built a high-throughput pollen analysis system, which was featured by the National Science Foundation that “opens a new era of fossil pollen research”.

I am actively looking for self-motivated PhD students at CIS, FST, University of Macau. PhD students will be fully funded with fellowships. I am NOT actively looking for PhD students at CSE, TAMU.
