About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Intelligent Systems, Nagoya University, supervised by Prof. Kensaku Mori. Before that, I received the B. Eng degree from School of Computer Science and Engineering in Northeastern University of China in 2019 and the Master of Informatics degree from Graduate School of Informatics in Nagoya University in 2023.

I focus on biomedical image processing.

If you would like to chat with me about any interesting topics or questions on computer vision related, please don't hesitate to contact with me via email!
