My research aims at creating strong learning machines that adapt to complex real world. I am working on transfer learning, out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization, domain adaptation and few-shot learning. I am also interested in related topics in machine learning and deep learning, such as foundation models, time series analysis and multi-modal learning.

I am currently an Assistant Professor, Chenhui Scholar, in School of Data Science and Engineering, East China Normal University. I received my Ph.D. degree from School of Software, Tsinghua University, advised by Mingsheng Long. I received my B.S. degree from Department of Automation, Tsinghua University.
