Bio

I am an Associate Professor of School of Electronic Information and Communications at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Before joining HUST, I received my Ph.D. degree and completed a one-year post-doc both at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Kwang-Ting Tim Cheng.

My research interests include deep learning and medical image analysis, with specific focus on medical image segmentation, domain adaptation and federated learning. The main motivation is to develop annotation-effecient deep learning approaches to tackle medical imaging problems.

研究兴趣:人工智能、医学图像处理、计算机视觉

Looking for self-motivated undergraduate/postgraduate students to join my group. Feel free to contact me if you have interests.

欢迎本科生、保研生、直博生或计划出国(境)读博的同学加入我们团队。招2024级硕士研究生2名,欢迎2020级本科保研同学尽早联系进组。
