I am currently Associate Professor at School of Artificial Intelligence in BUPT. I received the PhD at Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems (PRIS) laboratory of BUPT in 2019.During PHD career, I was under the join supervision of Professor Honggang Zhang (the director of PRIS) and Dr. Yi-Zhe Song (the director of SketchX).

My research interest is Computer Vision and Machine Learning, particularly focus on Sketch, Video analysis, Information Retrieval.
