About me (CV | Google scholar)
Currently I am working at JD.com American Technologies Corporation as a computer vision scientist. I received my Ph.D. in 2016 from the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of South Carolina. My adviser is Prof. Song Wang.
My research interest lies broadly in computer vision and machine learning. More specifically, during my Ph.D. studies, I have worked on 2D/3D human pose estimation, image segmentation, human attribute recognition and action recognition. After graduating, I have been able to expand my research interests into new but related areas, such as object detection and low-shot learning. Email: efan3000 AT gmail DOT com |
