I received B.A. degree from School of Internet of Things Engineering at Jiangnan University, in 2015. For two years up to 2018, I studied as a Master student in Jiangsu Provincial Engineering Laboratory of Pattern Recognition and Computational Intelligence, Jiangnan University. I received my Ph.D. degree at Jiangsu Provincial Engineering Laboratory of Pattern Recognition and Computational Intelligence, Jiangnan University, in December of 2021, supervised by Pro. Xiao-Jun Wu (School of AI & CS).

I am currently a Lecturer at the School of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China. My research interests include image fusion and multi-modal visual information processing. I have published several scientific papers, including Information Fusion, IEEE TIP, IEEE TCYB, IEEE TIM, ICPR etc. I achieved top tracking performance in several competitions, including the VOT2020 RGBT challenge (ECCV20), VOT2021 RGBD challenge (ICCV21) and Anti-UAV challenge (ICCV21).
