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.

I am currently a Lecturer at the School of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science and the International Joint Laboratory on Artificial Intelligence of Jiangsu Province, Jiangnan University, Wuxi, China. My research interests include image fusion and multi-modal visual information processing/Tracking.

I have published several scientific papers (including five highly cited papers), including IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TIP, Information Fusion, 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). I have been chosen among the World’s Top 2% Scientists ranking in the single recent year dataset published by Stanford University, Version 5, Nov 2022.
