Brief Biography

Currently, I serve as an Associate Professor at the College of Computer Science and Technology, National University of Defense Technology, and am also affiliated with the State Key Laboratory of Complex & Critical Software Environment. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2017 from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (University of Paris VI) in France, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Bruce Denby and Prof. Gerard Dreyfus (IEEE Fellow). My primary research interests lie in computer audition, and multimodal continual learning, with a broader commitment to advancing AI4Science.

I have authored or co-authored over 100 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences such as ICLR, CVPR, NeurIPS, ICML, AAAI, ASE, IJCAI, SIGIR, ACM MM, ICRA and IEEE TKDE, TALSP, TOMM, TMI, TCSVT, TGRS, Information Fusion, Advanced Materials, Speech Communication and Advanced Science, which have garnered more than 4,000 Google Scholar citations with an h-index of 36. Beyond my academic work, I actively participate in machine learning competitions and have achieved top rankings in several major contests, including the ACM KDD Cup, Kaggle, Tianchi, and CCF BDCI. I am also honored to hold the title of Kaggle Grandmaster.

In addition, I serve as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology and as a Guest Editor for the Science Partner Journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems.
