I am a Staff Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research (Boston) working with Prof. Song Han. I am also a visiting researcher at MIT HAN Lab. I was a Principal Researcher and Research Lead (in Generative AI) at Huawei Noah's Ark Lab (Hong Kong). I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, The University of Hong Kong in 2022. My advisor is Prof. Ping Luo and my co-advisor is Prof. Wenping Wang. I also work very closely with my friend Wenhai Wang. I was fortunate to work with Prof. Chunhua Shen (UofAdelaide), Prof. Anima Anandkumar (CalTech), and Prof. Sanja Fidler (UofT). During my PhD study, I collaborated with several researchers in industry e.g. Facebook and NVIDIA.

My research interest is solving challenging problems in generative AI, computer vision and deep learning. I developed a few well-known computer vision algorithms including:

• PolarMask (Rank 10 in CVPR 2020 Top-10 Influential Papers).
• PVT (Rank 2 in ICCV 2021 Top-10 Influential Papers).
• SegFormer (Rank 3 in NeurIPS 2021 Top-10 Influential Papers).
• BEVFormer (Rank 6 in ECCV 2022 Top-10 Influential Papers).

• [2025.06] 1 paper accepted to ICML 2025, and 3 papers accepted to ICCV 2025.
• [2025.02] Co-authored book《计算机视觉十讲》 (Ten Lectures on Computer Vision) has been published!
• [2025.01] 5 papers accepted to ICLR 2025 (1 Oral, 1 Spotlight).
• [2024.12] Serve as Area Chair for ICCV 2025 and Guest Editor for Pattern Recognition.
• [2024.08] 1 paper accepted to Nature Communications Engineering. (The first time submitted a paper to Nature and got accepted!)
• [2024.07] 3 paper accepted to ECCV, 1x RA-L and 1x TMLR.
• [2024.04] Back to NVIDIA Research! Join the Efficient AI team.
• [2024.01] 6 papers accepted to ICLR 2023 (1 Oral, 1 Spotlight) and 1 paper accepted to CVPR 2024.
• [2023.11] 1 survey paper accepted to TPAMI.
• [2023.09] 4 papers accepted to NeurIPS 2023.
• [2023.07] 5 papers accepted to ICCV 2023 (2 Oral) and 1 paper accepted to TPAMI.
• [2023.05] 1 paper accepted to ACL 2023.
• [2022.08] Obtained my Ph.D. degree from HKU and join Huawei Noah's Ark Lab.
• [2019.10] Join HKU MMLab as a PhD student and play computer vision.

My research SANA contributes to NVIDIA's flagship generative AI projects including DLSS and Cosmos. Besides, my research SegFormer has significantly improved the robustness of real-world autonomous driving.
