Wallenberg–NTU Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow
Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning, KTH Royal Institute of Technology

I am a Wallenberg–NTU Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow, currently hosted at the Division of Robotics, Perception and Learning, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and working with Prof. Hedvig Kjellström. During the first year of my fellowship, I was based at the College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University, where I worked with Prof. Weisi Lin.

I received my Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees from Nanyang Technological University. My Ph.D. research was conducted at the Rapid-Rich Object Search Lab and supervised by Prof. Alex C. Kot and Assoc. Prof. Shijian Lu. I received my B.Eng. degree from Harbin Institute of Technology. My research focuses on human-centered visual understanding, including video and skeleton-based action recognition, 3D human motion understanding, and human pose estimation.
