π¨βπ« About me
I am Yuzhu Ji, an Associate Professor and master's supervisor at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT), supported by GDUT's Young Hundred Talents Program (Tier A), and a Senior Member of IEEE. I received my Ph.D. from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2019, began postdoctoral research at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2020, and joined GDUT in 2022. My research interests include computer vision, video analysis and synthesis, human motion transfer, object pose estimation, salient object detection, and medical image segmentation. I have published over 40 papers in leading journals and conferences, including IEEE TNNLS, TMM, TCYB, Information Sciences, KDD, IJCAI, and ECAI, and have filed multiple invention patent applications. My research is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province. I am also a member of the China Computer Federation (CCF) and the China Society of Image and Graphics (CSIG), and a council member of the Guangzhou Computer Society.
