About Me
I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland - College Park with Dean Fellowship Award.
Currently, I am a Research Assistant supervised by Prof.Chao DONG from XPixel. I also work closely with Ph.D. cancidate Jinjin GU.
My previous research interests mainly lie in Computer Vision and its related explainations caused by Deep Learning, especially in:
Low-level Vision : How to Design and Guide more efficient Image Restoration models to tackle multiple and tangled distortions in real-world scenario.
Explainable Artificial Intelligence : How to observe/depict/measure the procedure that machine extracts and leverages information embeded in the image and video.
