Experiences:

I am a Professor in the School of Mathematical Science at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

In 2012, I received my Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from UESTC, advised by Prof. Ting-Zhu Huang.

From 2013 to 2014, I worked with Prof. Michael Ng as a post-doc at Hong Kong Baptist University.

From 2016 to 2017, I worked with Prof. Jose M. Bioucas Dias as a visiting scholar at Instituto Superior Técnico.

My research interests are image processing, machine learning, and scientific computing.
