I am an AI research engineer specializing in computer vision, with a primary focus on low-level vision and image restoration. My current research addresses image degradation challenges, including deblurring, low-light enhancement, and display-induced distortions. My broader research experience also spans video understanding, including temporal action localization and pedestrian attribute recognition.
