Guangzhou International Campus, 511436, China.

I am an associate professor at School of Future Technology, South China University of Technology, China, working with Human-centered AI Lab.

Before that, I was a postdoctoral researcher during 2024-2026 at Centre national de la recherche scientifique, France, working with Dr. Ricardo Borsoi. I obtained my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2024 at Laboratoire Lagrange, Université Côte d’Azur, France, under the supervision of Prof. Cédric Richard. I received my master degree in 2021 under the supervision of Prof. Jie Chen, from Northwestern Polytechnical University, China, where I also received my bachelor degree in 2018.

My research interests lie at the intersection of artificial intelligence and signal processing, with special attention to

  • Deep generative models
  • Change point detection
  • Optimization (on manifolds)

and their applications to hyperspectral imaging and distributed acoustic sensing.

A formal biography is available here.
