About Me

Hello! Since April 2025, I have been a full-time Research Intern at Deep Learning Lab of Ant Research Institute, mentored by Haoxing Chen and Dr. Jianguo Li. At the same time, I am also an incoming Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), fortunate to be supervised by Dr. Dong Gong, Prof. Erik Meijering, and Prof. Lina Yao.

Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering and M.Eng. degree in Artificial Intelligence from Shandong University (SDU) in 2021 and 2024, respectively. For my master's research, I was luckily advised by Prof. Gongping Yang and as a member of TIME Lab.

News

[Apr. 2025] 😊 Starting my first internship in DeepLearning Lab of Ant Research Institute.
[Jun. 2024] 🎓 Graduated with my M.Eng. degree, and left the Software Park Campus of SDU, where I had spent seven years (2017-2024), and harvested growth and Love 💖. Forever cherish this journey! 😊
[Jun. 2024] 🌟 Received an ideal official Ph.D. offer from UNSW, so excited! I will join Dr. Dong Gong's group, looking forward to this new journey!
[Aug. 2023] We release our codebase LGTEUN. Feel free to test our code.
[Apr. 2023] Our paper LGTEUN for Pan-sharpening was accepted by IJCAI 2023. See you in Macau!
[Apr. 2023] Our paper AMS-M2ESL for Hyperspectral Image Classification was accepted by TGRS.
[Oct. 2022] 🎉 Our paper CVSSN (my first first-author paper) for Hyperspectral Image Classification was accepted by TCSVT!

Research

My research interests lie in Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Currently, I am interested in Foundation Models, especially Vision-Language Models as well as Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning. Previously, I explored Remote Sensing Image Analysis in depth with a focus on Hyperspectral Image Classification and Pan-sharpening.
