Biography

I am an undergraduate student in Computer Science and Technology at the University of Science and Technology of China, expected to graduate in June 2027. I am currently a research intern at USTC ViLab, where I work on small-object detection in drone imagery.

My broader interests lie in computer vision, vision-language models, and multimodal learning. I am especially interested in building practical perception systems that remain effective under challenging real-world conditions.


Research Interests

  • Computer vision
  • Vision-language models
  • Multimodal learning
  • Small-object detection in drone imagery

Research Experience

Research Intern, USTC ViLab, University of Science and Technology of China

  • Conduct research on small-object detection in drone imagery under the supervision of Prof. Xiaoyan Sun and Dr. Zilong He.
  • Work on SURF-DFINE, a VisDrone-oriented extension of D-FINE for more effective small-object detection.
  • Explore semantic alignment and selective high-resolution refinement for stronger multi-scale perception.

Selected Project

SURF-DFINE

SURF-DFINE is a small-object detector built on top of D-FINE for drone imagery. The project studies semantic alignment before pyramid fusion and sparse refinement for selective high-resolution processing, with strong results on the VisDrone benchmark.


Teaching

Teaching Assistant, Computer Programming A, USTC

Assisted with undergraduate programming instruction and student support in the Computer Programming A course.


Skills
