I am currently a Researcher in Vision and Multimedia Lab at JD AI Research, Beijing, China. My research interests include video understanding, multimedia analysis and deep learning. I has authored or co-authored 20+ papers in top-notch Journals and Conferences, with about 2,300+ and an hindex of 15, according to Google Scholar. My works have also led to many awards, including Excellence Award of CAS Dean's Scholarship 2020 and Microsoft Research Asia Fellowship 2017.
I received B.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China, in 2015 and 2020, respectively. I am the key architect of the top-performing multimedia analytic systems in worldwide competitions such as ActivityNet Large Scale Activity Recognition Challenge 2021 & 2019 & 2017 & 2016, Visual Domain Adaptation Challenge 2018 & 2017, and THUMOS Action Recognition Challenge 2015. I am the co-organizer of Pre-training for Video Understanding Challenge in ACM Multimedia 2021.
