I am a Chief Scientist of Computer Vision and Robotics at International Digital Economy Academy (IDEA) and an Adjunct Professor of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Prior to this, I was a Principal Researcher and Research Manager at Microsoft, where I have worked since 2001 in Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) for 12 years and later joined Bing Multimedia, Microsoft Research (MSR, Redmond), and Microsoft Cloud & AI from 2013 to 2021. My research interests are in computer vision and machine learning. I am particularly intersted in generic visual recognition at large scale and was named as IEEE Fellow for my contributions in this area.
I have served as editorial board members for IEEE T-MM, T-CSVT, and Multimedia System Journal, as program co-chairs, area chairs, or committee members for many top conferences. I have published 150+ papers and hold 60+ US patents.
I received all my degrees (B.E., M.E., and Ph.D) in Computer Science from Tsinghua University.
