I am currently a 4th-year Ph.D student at School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK and a member of the GAIR-Lab in Information, Data and Analysis (IDA) group. My principal supervisor is Prof. Joemon M Jose and second supervisor is Dr. Gerardo Aragon Camarasa. I received my master's degree from Xiamen University in 2020. My advisors are Prof. Rongrong Ji and Minghui Shi. During my master, I worked in the Laboratory of MAC, Artificial Intelligence Department, School of Informatics, Xiamen University, China.
More recently, my main research attention in computer vision, natural language processing and multimedia, mainly including cross-modal retrieval, facial action unit detection, image captioning, medical image analysis, etc.
