Short Bio
I am currently a Research Fellow in the Department of Engineering Science at University of Oxford, working with Prof. Philip H. S. Torr. I am also a Technical Advisor and Consultant on the AI Research Team at Aistetic, Oxford, UK. Prior to that, I obtained my Ph.D. in the HCP Lab of Sun Yat-sen University, advised by Prof. Liang Lin. I also worked as a visiting scholar in the MMLab of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, mentored by Prof. Ping Luo and Prof. Xiaogang Wang.
I will be leading "The Great AI Lab" (Generative Representations: Explorer And Transformer, Super Alignment Platform).
Research Focus:
AI General Representation Learning: 2D, 3D, NLP, especially for generative models or "unified models";
AI Super Alignment;
AI Task Self-Discovery and AI for Science;
I am looking for visiting students/interns for our group in these fields. Please drop me an email if interested.
