I am a tenured associate professor and independent PI leading the Machine Intelligence Lab at Wangxuan Institute of Computer Technology, Peking Univeristy. Before joining Peking University since June 2016, I have ever worked at National University of Singapore, the DVMM lab of Columbia University, Huawei Noah's Ark Lab in Hong Kong, and Multimedia Department of AT&T Labs, New Jersey, U.S.A. I obtained both the B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Peking University.

My research interest is generally in cross-discipline topics in computer vision, robotics and natural langauge. Below are my recent primary research topics (see my recent publication for more details):
  • Multi-modality (e.g., vision, point cloud and language) learning
  • AI Robotics (robotic grasping, manipulation, navigation, visually-grounded planning)
  • Computer vision (video analysis, pose estimation, action recognition, 3-D scene understanding etc)
  • Neural foundation models
We are always actively recruiting postdocs, interns and prospective graduate students! (Contact: myd@pku.edu.cn)

Recent Research Project Highlight

    AI Robotics (grasping, manipulation, navigation, planning etc) Multimodal Generative Models
    Adversarial / Backdoor Learning Skeleton based Pose Estimation and Action Understanding
