👨🏻‍💻 Biography

I am currently an Assistant Professor at Jiangxi Normal University (JXNU), China.

I received my Ph.D. degree from Xiamen University in June 2024, advised by Prof. Rongrong Ji and co-advised by Prof. Liujuan Cao. Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in computer science from Jiangxi Normal University in June 2018.

My research interests lie in computer vision and deep learning. During my Ph.D. studies, I focused on weakly supervised learning, particularly in object detection and localization. Currently, I am also exploring open-vocabulary learning and multimodal approaches.
