About Me

I am a PhD student at Imperial College London. I obtained an MSc with Distinction in Environmental Data Science & Machine Learning from Imperial College London and a BEng in Spatial Informatics and Digital Technology from Wuhan University.


My research lies at the intersection of computer vision, geometry-aware perception, and AI for environmental systems. I am particularly interested in panoramic understanding, semantic segmentation, source-free domain adaptation, remote sensing, and reliable learning for real-world visual and climate applications.

Current interests: panoramic reasoning and segmentation · geometry-aware dense prediction · efficient and reliable AI for environmental intelligence.
