Ph.D. Student at vLAR group, PolyU.

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at the Visual Learning and Reasoning (vLAR) Group, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), under the supervision of Dr. Bo Yang. Before that, I received my M.Eng degree from Dalian University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Yi Sun. And I obtained my B.Eng degree from Dalian University of Technology in 2020, with the honor of “Outstanding Graduate of Liaoning Province”.

I work in the field of Robotics, Computer Vision and Deep Learning.

In my daily life, I excel in swimming (fourth place in the DUT breaststroke final) and love climbing mountains for a broader perspective. It may come as a surprise that I participated in Chinese folk dance for the DUT art performance (Fenglan Cup, Video). Feel free to reach out to me via email (ht.wen@outlook.com).
