I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (IAIR, Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU), where I pursue my doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof.Le Wang. I also collaborate closely with Prof.Sanping Zhou, Prof.Gang Hua and Prof.Wei Tang.

I am currently a visiting Ph.D. student with the Multimedia and Human Understanding Group (MHUG) at the University of Trento, under the supervision of Nicu Sebe.
