About me

I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate at Nanyang Technological University in Singapre from 2020 fall, supervised by Prof. Bihan Wen, and Prof. Alex Kot. Before that, I got my bachelor degree of computer science in 2020 from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

The central goal of my current research is to more effectively restore the visual world using either deep image priors (e.g., diffusion models, normalizing flows, GANs) or the degradation priors (e.g., noise formulations in the raw space)
