Research Scientist @ Huawei

About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the King’s Laboratory for Intelligent Computing (KLIC) at King’s College London, working with Prof Bipin Rajendran. My research interest is on analog in-memory-computing (AIMC) and hardware acceleration algorithms for artificial intelligence. Before that, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Durham University, supervised by Prof Toby Breckon and Prof Hubert P. H. Shum. My research pursues to better 3D perception and semantic scene understanding based on computer vision and deep learning. I was awarded as the runner-up for the 2024 BMVA Sullivan Doctoral Thesis Prize in recognition of my contributions to computer vision research in the UK.
