I am a Research Fellow at National University of Singapore, under the supervision of Assistant Professor: Tham Yih Chung. I received my Ph.D. from the National Key Laboratory of Fundamental Science on Synthetic Vision, the College of Computer Science, Sichuan University, co-advised by Prof. Xiaojing Shen and Prof. Xuedong Yuan. I was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore from September 2022 to September 2023, under the supervision of Principal Scientist: Huazhu Fu.
- 👯 I’m looking to collaborate on Trustworthy multi-modality learning with uncertainty estimation.
- ⚡ I’m seeking to research on Vision Language model and Foundation model.
His research focuses on:
- 🔥 AI+ Healthcare: Medical image analysis, uncertainty estimation, multi-modal learning，vision-language model.
- Computer Vision: Point set registration.
- Intelligent Vehicle: Track2track association, multi-sensor fusion (lidar and camera).
