I'm currently working between PKU and UCL, where I explore the exciting field of brain-inspired computing 🧠🤖 — from neural coding and perception to neuromorphic systems and high-speed sensing. I'm particularly interested in building intelligent systems that take inspiration from how the brain sees and acts.

I've led several projects related to neuromorphic cameras and spike-based visual computing 🎥⚡️. I'm very lucky to be mentored by Prof. Tiejun Huang and Prof. Karl Friston, whose guidance continues to shape my thinking💡.

I have served as an Area Chair for several leading international conferences, including CVPR, ICLR, and WACV, and as a reviewer for top-tier conferences and journals such as Nature Human Behaviour, TIP, TNNLS, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, and ICML. I am always open to discussing and collaborating on related topics — feel free to reach out if you're working in this space. 🤝
