😁 About me

I obtained my B.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the School of Automation at Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), under the supervision of Prof. Zhunga Liu. My research interests focus on open-environment deep learning and its applications in remote sensing, including open set recognition, incremental learning, and adversarial learning. Starting in 2025, I joined Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) as a postdoctoral researcher, supervised by Prof. Michael Kwok-Po Ng.
