I received a first-class (top) B.Sc. honors degree in Computer Systems Engineering from University of Kent and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University of Cambridge. I have been on the faculty of Durham University, City University of Hong Kong, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

My research interests include computer graphics, computer vision, and the development of deep-learning techniques to solve computer graphics/vision problems. The papers from my group appear in SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, and NeurIPS. We also have papers in TVCG, IJCV, TPAMI, and TIP. Refer to my publications for more information. I received an Adobe Research Gift in 2023.

I serve on the Editorial Board of International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) and IET Computer Vision.

I served as the Guest Editor of a number of journal special issues, including ACM Trans. on Internet Technology, IEEE Trans. on Multimedia, IEEE Trans. on Visualization and Computer Graphics, and IEEE Computer Graphics & Applications. In addition, I also served on the committees of a number of conferences, including Program Co-Chair of ACM VRST 2004 (Hong Kong), ICWL 2005 (Hong Kong), ICAT 2006 (Hangzhou, China), ICEC 2007 (Shanghai, China), ACM MTDL 2009 (Beijing, China), IEEE U-Media 2010 (Jinhua, China), and Conference Co-Chair of CASA 2005 (Hong Kong), ACM VRST 2005 (Monterey, California), ICWL 2007 (Edinburgh, U.K.), ACM MTDL 2010 (Firenze - Italy), ACM VRST 2010 (Hong Kong), ACM VRST 2014 (Edinburgh, U.K.).


PhD positions available: I am looking for motivated and hard working PhD students to join my research group in the coming year, to conduct research on computer vision or computer graphics problems. The research focus of my group is to apply deep learning techniques to solve vision and graphics problems. (Refer to our research projects and publications for more information.) For September 2023 entrance, the deadline for application is December 1, 2022. In case if you have a strong academic background, you may apply for the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. If you are interested to join my research group, please email me your CV and transcripts for consideration.
