Biography

I am a lecturer at School of Computer Science and Technology, Donghua University (DHU). I obtained my Ph.D. majoring in computer science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Lei Xu (IEEE Fellow) and Assoc. Prof. Shikui Tu, and my B.Sc. and M.Eng. from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA) in 2014 and 2017, respectively.

Research Interests

My research interests include machine learning and artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC). And currently, I focus on the topics of creative design and synthesis reasoning on sketches, and you can have a brief look about some interesting results below.

Self-organizing sketch patterns in a latent hierarchy

Sketch analogy by capturing latent operators

Sketch healing by learning graphic sketch representations
