About Me

I am currently a Research Fellow at the Centre for Trusted Internet and Community (CTIC), National University of Singapore (NUS), working with Prof. Wynne Hsu and Prof. Mong-Li Lee. I received my Ph.D. degree from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), under the supervision of Prof. Liqiang Nie and Prof. Xuemeng Song. During my Ph.D., I was a joint Ph.D. student at City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Xiangyu Zhao, and at the National University of Singapore, supervised by Prof. Tat-Seng Chua. Before my Ph.D., I received my M.Sc. degree from Shandong University and my B.Sc. degree from Ocean University of China. My research interests include multimedia computing, information retrieval, and misinformation detection.
