Brief Biography

I am an Associate Professor at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) and a Kaggle Grandmaster. I received my Ph.D. from Université Pierre et Marie Curie in 2017. My research focuses on computer audition, multimodal continual learning, and AI4Science. I have authored over 100 publications in top-tier conferences and journals, with over 5,000 Google Scholar citations and an h-index of 39. In addition to winning top awards in major ML competitions like the ACM KDD Cup, I serve as an Associate Editor for IEEE TCSVT.
