Hyperspectral Image Analysis · Recognition & Restoration · Computer Vision in Challenging Environments

I am a PhD researcher in Electronic and Electrical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, working on deep learning for advanced computer vision under challenging environments, with a focus on hyperspectral image analysis, recognition and restoration. Before that, my master’s research at Shanghai University of Engineering Science covered wireless sensing (WiFi gesture recognition) and cross-view image matching between drones and satellites. I am also an independent open-source builder of AI agent tools and enjoy sharing practical AI workflows with the community.
