About
I am currently a PhD student in the Visual Information Laboratory at University of Bristol, supervised by Prof. David Bull and Dr. Fan Zhang. My main research interests include deep learning, computer vision and image/video processing.I obtained MSc (Distiction) in Machine Learning from University College London, where I did research in computer vision with UCL Prism research group and finished my thesis on visual object tracking, supervised by Prof. Gabriel Brostow. I completed BEng (1st Class Hons.) in Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London under the supervision of Prof. Yiannis Andreopoulos.
My current research is mainly focused on video frame interpolation, video compression and video quality assessment.
