Staff profile

I am a PhD student supervised by Dr Hubert P. H. Shum and Dr Noura Al Moubayed in Computer Science at Durham University. My research focuses on integrating Geometric Information into computer vision applications, particularly in the analysis of Biomedical Engineering videos. Before this, I received my MRes degree from King's College London, my MSc degree from the University of Southampton, and my Bachelor's degree from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

I am incredibly thankful to my supervisors and collaborators and enjoy exploring new domains through collaborations. If you have questions or would like to work together, please feel free to reach out through email.
