😊 About Me

Hello👋! Since September 2024, I am a Ph.D. student at the School of Computer Science, Beihang University, fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Hai-Miao Hu. Previously, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering and M.Eng. degree in Artificial Intelligence from Qingdao University (QU) and Shandong University (SDU) in 2021 and 2024, respectively. During my master’s research, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Gongping Yang and served as a member of TIME Lab.

I’m very willing to participate in academic discussions and collaborations, so please feel free to contact me!

📝 Research

My research interests lie in Machine Learning and Computer Vision. Currently, I am particularly interested in Out-of-Distribution (OOD) Detection, especially leveraging synthesized outliers for model regularization. Previously, I conducted in-depth research on Anomaly Detection, with a focus on Surface Anomaly Detection in industrial scenarios.
