2016/09 - 2019/07, I was a Master student (China National Scholarship, Outstanding Graduate of Shanghai) in College of Information Technology, Shanghai Ocean University, China. Supervisor: Prof. Wei Song.

Research Interests:

Developing cutting-edge theories and technologies in artificial intelligence and machine vision, including Intelligent Emotional Robots, Machine Vision and Enhancement , particularly in the domains of

Facial Expression Recognition and Affective Computing in Different Scenes. The purpose is to design AI models to perceive and understand human emotion from facial images, videos, text, voice or multi-modal information.

Anomaly Detection in Industrial Environments. The purpose is to identify visual anomalies of equipment or products through image analysis, detect defects or failures.

Image Restorationand and Enhancement, Super-resolution. The purpose is to develop algorithms to process an image so that result is more suitable than original image or video for specific application.
