ABOUT ME

As a Senior R&D Engineer of NextEvo Team (previously part of Artificial Intelligence Department) at Ant Group, I apply my 7+ years of expertise in digital signal processing, computer vision, and multimodal understanding to create innovative and award-winning AI products (e.g. 定损宝, awarded Shenzhen 2018 Fintech Award and 亿亩田, awarded CCF 2022 Technology Advancing Award). I am also an executive member of Wuhan University - Ant Group United Laboratory, where I collaborate with leading researchers and engineers to advance the state-of-the-art in artificial intelligence. I have a strong academic background in communication system and computer science, with a Master degree from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and a Bachelor degree with honors from Zhejiang University. I have also gained valuable experience working in multinational corporations and cutting-edge start-ups in Europe, such as Sony and Tractable Ltd. My research interests include artificial intelligence, computer vision and multimodal understanding and I have published several papers in prestigious conferences and journals, as well as obtained multiple patents and certifications in these fields. I am passionate about solving challenging problems and creating impactful solutions that can benefit various domains and society.
