Biography

Currently, I am a Ph.D. student supervised by Prof. ZHOU Jiantao at University of Macau. I worked as a research assistant supervised Prof. DONG Chao of XPixel Group in Multimedia Laboratory@SIAT-CAS (2022-2024). I received a Bachelor degree in Software Engineering at Northwestern Polytechnical University. I also work closely with Dr. GU Jinjin and Dr. CHEN Xiangyu.

My research interests focus on Deep Learning and Computer Vision, especially in:

• Image Restoration and Enhancement: To propose high-performance methods to process degraded images (e.g., SUPIR, X-Restormer).
• Vision-Language Models for Image Quality Assessment: To develop multi-modal VLM-based methods for descriptive, human-like image quality evaluation.
• Diffusion Model Control and Generation: To enable efficient and precise control of large-scale generative models.
