Research Direction

Self-improvement of Intelligence

He obtained his Ph.D. degree at MMLab, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, supervised by Professor Chen Change (Cavan) Loy. Before that, he received his bachelor degree at the Computer Science School, Wuhan University.

His past works mainly explore versatile neural architectures across modalities and perception tasks and open-vocabulary perception. He built and released MMDetection3D, and has been leading the development of MMDetection and MMDetection3D since 2020, respectively, as a core member of OpenMMLab since 2019.
