About Me
I am a PhD student in the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) at the Australian National University (ANU). I am also a research student at the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV) and the Vision-Ask-Answer-Act Lab (V3A).
I am under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Gould (ANU), Dr. Qi Wu (UoA) and Prof. Lexing Xie (ANU).
Prior to that, in Nov’2018, I received my bachelor degree of engineering in mechatronic systems with a first-class honours in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at ANU. In 2018, I was also a part-time research student at the Data61, CSIRO, working on human pose and shape visualization.
I have a broad research interests in computer vision, natural language processing and robotics. Currently, my main research focus is on the problem of Embodied Vision-and-Language (E-V&L), and inparticular Vision-and-Language Navigation . I believe, E-V&L has the great potential to merge a wide range of visiolinguistic research to create an embodied interative system which is practical to assist human in real-world.
