I am currently an Associate Professor of the School of Electronic and Information at Wuhan University and leading a group DVS-WHU in the SPLab which is devoted for event-based perception. In general my research interest includes signal processing, deep learning and computer vision. Specifically, I am currently interested in:

  • Sparse Signal Recovery
  • Neuromorphic Computation
  • Event-based Image Enhancement and Visual Perception

Previously, I received the Bachelor and PhD degrees in Signal and Information Processing in 2006 and 2012, respectively, both from Wuhan University. I also got a PhD degree in Automatic Control from ENSEA/Université de Cergy-Pontoise, Cergy, France, in November 2011. From December 2011 to March 2013, I held a Postdoctoral position in Empenn (former name: ViSaGe), working with Prof. Rémi Gribonval and Prof. Christian Barillot. From March 2016 to March 2017, I was working at Duke University as a visiting scholar.
