I am currently a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship Researcher at Satoh-Lab, National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan, collaborating with Prof. Shin’ichi Satoh. In Sep. 2017-Sep. 2018, I was a Project Researcher under the support of JST CREST project ‘Experience and Action Sensing of Media Consumers based on Unknown Target Retrieval and Recognition Framework’. In Jun. 2017, I received my Ph.D. at National Engineering Research Center for Multimedia Software (NERCMS), Wuhan University with honor, under the supervision of Prof. Ruimin Hu. My research interests focus on person re-identification and instance search.
