Biography

I’m Yang Liu (刘阳), a post-doctoral fellow at HCP Lab, Sun-Yat-Sen University with co-advisor Prof. Liang Lin. Before that, I obtained my Ph.D degree in 2019 at School of Telecommunications, Xidian University advised by Prof. Zhaoyang Lu. During my Ph.D study, I worked closely with Prof. Jing Li, Prof. Tao Yang and Dr. Chao Yao. Before that, I received my Bachelor Degree in telecommunications from the School of Information Engineering, Chang’an University in 2014. My current research interests include computer vision and machine learning.
