Shengju Qian

I am a PhD student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Jiaya Jia.

Prior to that, I received my Bachelor degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. I've spent wonderful time with my internship at Amazon AI, Tencent Youtu X-Lab, and SenseTime Research.

My research interests lie primarily in computer vision and deep learning, particularly focusing on representaion learning and network designs, including self-supervised learning, transformers for vision, and generative models for face/body understanding.
