City University of HongKong

I am a postdoctoral researcher with the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong.

I obtained my Ph.D. degree (June 2022) in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong supervised by Dr. Shiqi Wang (王诗淇). I obtained my M.S. degree in Intelligent Information Processing, Xidian University under the supervision of Prof. Cheolkon Jung (Korea), in 2018, and B.S. degree in Electronic information science and technology, Hefei University of Technology, June 2015.

My research interest includes image/video quality assessment and information forensics and security.
